Quicksilver Google Chrome plugin

This plugin adds functionality for accessing different aspects of Google Chrome in Quicksilver. If you have Google Chrome Canary, all of the listed functionality has Canary equivalents.

This plugin contains adapted code from the Safari plugin.

Catalog

The following additions are made to the catalog:

  • Open web pages - A container for the current open web pages in Chrome, access the actual web pages by right arrowing into the container. Also available when right arrowing into the Chrome application.
  • Bookmarks - The top level bookmarks and bookmark folders from Chrome. Also available when right arrowing into the Chrome application
  • History - The 300 latest history entries in Chrome, disabled by default. The number in the catalog is limited to 300 for performance reasons. The history entries are also available when right arrowing into the Chrome application, and it includes all of the history, no limits.
  • Search engines - All search engines registered in Chrome, disabled by default. They are searchable both by their names and their keywords, and are also available when right arrowing into the Chrome application.

Actions

The following actions are available:

  • Reveal tab - Activates the tab in Chrome that contains the selected web page. This is only available for Chrome Tab types, i.e. the listing under "Open web pages", or "Current Web Page".
  • Reload tab - Reloads the tab in Chrome that contains the selected web page. This is only available for Chrome Tab types, i.e. the listing under "Open web pages", or "Current Web Page".
  • Open URL in Source Browser - Opens the URL in the browser from whence it came. This is only available for URLs from Chrome (see Types below), typically as a bookmark or a history entry. This can be used to open bookmarks from a browser in that browser and is useful if your main browser is not Chrome or Chrome Canary.
