You can comfortably switch between devices because this extension synchronizes your variables with your Google/Firefox Account.

## How to use
There are three ways to interact with the extension.

1. The quickest way is to hit `CTRL+SHIFT+L` (`CMD+SHIFT+L` on Mac) in order to trigger the search box. After that simply type in your query and hit `ENTER`. You can change the shortcut in your browsers settings under `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` (You need to set this when using Edge!) or under `about:addons` in Firefox.

2. Manually trigger the search box through clicking on the icon in your extension bar. (Top right corner).

3. Focus your omnibox and type `!` (exclamation mark) and hit `SPACE` to activate the query.

Either open the settings by right-clicking on the extension or follow the link in the search box (remember point 1. and 2.). There you can define your query URL and variables.

# Contributing
If you're a native speaker of a foreign language, you might be interested translating the extension. For that see the files in the [`_locales`](https://github.com/DanielBiegler/search-with-variables/tree/master/_locales) folder

For the rest: See/Create [issues](https://github.com/DanielBiegler/search-with-variables/issues). There are two templates that you can fill out.
