Cligs Ubiquity Command
A lot of people have been asking for a Firefox extension for Cligs. Well I have news: there will be many ways through which you can use Cligs with Firefox. Today is the arrival of the first of those ways.
Ubiquity is a Firefox extension that allows you to do really (really!) cool things with Firefox. It’s basically a text box that you type commands into, and you get results. And now Cligs has two Ubiquity commands for you to use:
- cligthis: This command creates a short URL of the page you’re viewing and automatically copies it to the clipboard. This is the fastest way at the moment to get a clig in your clipboard (a faster way is coming tomorrow
). - cligit: This command creates a clig for any URL you specify. Simply type "cligit http://example.com/" and you will create a clig for example.com. Again, the short URL is automatically copied to the clipboard.
To learn how to use this feature, I’ve created a video for you to watch. It’s embedded below.
And as ever, please get in touch if you have requests or feedback. Thanks!
