Added Features

Most of the features are carried over from the original source. Few of the added features are:

• Added a "Quick Launch" functionality, which launches all the sites with quickLaunch property set to true upon entering q!.
• Color theme can now be inverted easily by either editing config or using invert! command.
• Added an option to show launch keys instead of icons again. Either edit config or type keys!.

Usage

To use Tilde as your homepage, simply set your browser's home URL to Tilde's index file. To go to a site, enter the first letter of the site then hit enter. To view the available sites, press ? or click on the clock. If your input doesn't match any of the commands, a generic DuckDuckGo search will be triggered. For example:

• Entering r would redirect you to www.reddit.com.
• Entering t would redirect you to twitch.tv.
• Entering cats would search Cats.

Note that by default, queries are searched on DuckDuckGo but this can be configured easily by updating two lines on. Check Configuration for details.

You might have to allow pop-ups for your homepage to use quick launch feature.

This version is not suitable for use on mobile as clicking on the clock will only bring up pre-defined sites.

Searching

You can search any of the sites by typing a colon after the site's key, followed by your search query. For example:

• Entering g:tilde-enhanced would search GitHub for tilde-enhanced.
• Entering y:cats would search Cats on YouTube.

Specific Locations

You can go to a specific location on a site by typing a forward slash after the site's key, followed by the location on the site you'd like to be redirected to. For example:

• Entering r/r/startpages would redirect you to www.reddit.com/r/startpages
• Entering h/popular would redirect you to hypem.com/popular.

URL Redirects

If you enter in a full domain or URL, you will be redirected to said domain or URL. For example:

• Entering stallman.org would redirect you to stallman.org.
• Entering keep.google.com would redirect you to keep.google.com.

Query Paramater

Additionally, you can pass any query via the q query param. For example:

• Going to file:///path/to/tilde/index.html?q=cats would search Cats.

This allows you to invoke Tilde with your native browser search bar.

Configuration

Open up the script.js file and read through the CONFIG!
