Getting started

Your first useful command in minutes.

Create a short trigger for a page you visit often, run it from the popup, and then choose the launcher that best fits your workflow.

Create a page command

Open the dashboardClick the ActionHelm icon, then choose Open dashboard.
Start a commandOpen Commands and choose + Command. You can also use the add-page button in the popup to prefill the current page.
Choose a triggerEnter a short phrase such as docs or a parameterized pattern such as jira {TICKET}.
Choose the resultSelect the link action, enter the destination URL, and save.

First command

Command: docs
URL: https://docs.example.com/
Run: docs

Run a command

Popup

Click the extension icon or use Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + .. Type a query, use the arrow keys if needed, and press Enter.

Side panel

Choose Open panel in the popup or use Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + E. The panel uses the same commands and matching as the popup but stays beside the current page.

Address bar

Type ., press Space, then type the command. Browser shortcuts can be changed in the browser's extension-shortcut settings.

Choose where a link opens

Link commands open in a new foreground tab by default. Add a leading dot to the launcher query to replace the current tab instead.

Current-tab modifier

New tab: jira DP-1023
Current tab: . jira DP-1023
Address bar: activate “.” first, then type “. jira DP-1023”

The dot modifies one execution only

It does not change the saved command. The next run returns to the normal new-tab behavior unless you add the prefix again.

What to configure next

Add parameters and aliases when one command should handle many destinations.
Create project groups to keep work and personal commands separate.
Build an environment matrix when the same application exists in local, QA, staging, and production.
Export a backup after your setup is ready.
