gata Extension
gata allows you to define dynamic shortcuts allowing you to jump to the page you need, when you need it. Just supply gata with a URL, define some variables, and you're done!
Examples include:
- Going to a Twitter profile
- Jumping to a specific repository on Github
- Viewing your favourite Reddit, sorted how you choose
HOW DOES IT WORK?
To create a shortcut to go to a Twitter profile, we'll provide the URL \"https://twitter.com/%s\"
The \"%s\" signifies a variable. This is the part that you are going to fill in when you access the shortcut.
When you go to use this shortcut, gata will prompt you to enter the username you want to access and take you there.
FEATURES
- Keyboard navigation - access all your shortcuts without using your mouse
- Syncing - your shortcuts are synced across Chrome browsers that are signed in with the same account
