Features

Imagine, for example,

• !drs tokio to search on docs.rs.
• go/gh foo to go to github.com/yourusername/foo.
• go/w/cal to go to your work calendar.

Installation

cargo install --git https://github.com/ksdme/jmp

How it works?

Well, you could build something like this as a browser extension. But, honestly, I know that to be an annoying process, so, instead, jmp is a simple axum based web server that reads all configuration from a toml config file.

Setting it up

Hosting

You can either host it a server somewhere or just confiure your machine to start the server on startup. Running it on your local machine instead has the benifit of it always being available, across all browsers. It also is better in terms of security, especially because jmp doesn't yet have auth.

Configuring browsers

Once you have a running jmp server, you need to configure your browers to use it as the default search engine. This might not be straight forward on some browsers, for example, Firefox. You can find more information here.

Configuration

You can configure jmp using a toml config file. You can use jmp.toml as a reference or you can stare at conf.rs for the details.

Todo

• Maybe make jump arguments more declarative.
• There a bug where placeholders in jumps are not interpolated if they aren't used.
