Mozilla announces Ubiquity
Mozilla recently announced “Ubiquity” and it turned up on all Social Bookmarking Site. So I thought I’d Give it a try. I downloaded the Ubiquity 0.1 firefox extension and Installed it.
The default command to open ubiquity is ctrl+spacebar. On opening ubiquity, a small greyish box appears at the top-left corner of your browser. This is where you enter commands. Somewhat feels like the linux command line
. Ubiquity isn’t fully supported on linux yet, so I was on Vista while trying this.
To Search a word/phrase on a search engine, just select the part and hit ctrl+spacebar, and top few results will appear in the Ubiquity box itself. You can also search wikipedia by selecting wikipedia “search term” or check weather for your city.
Theres tons of commands, like email (uses your gmail account)
