A lot of workdays start with the same four or five tabs. Opening them one after another is a minute of clicking every morning, and it is easy to forget one. One Wyrd keyword can open the whole set.
Short answer. Make a Wyrd keyword whose address lists every page with | between them, then type > morning and press Enter.
Which one to use
| Way | Opens the set by typing, from any tab | Keeps Continue where you left off | Searches several sites at once | Built into Chrome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wyrd keyword for several pages Recommended | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Chrome bookmarks folder, Open all | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Chrome's startup pages | No | No | No | Yes |
Chrome's own ways are in Google's help: bookmarks and startup pages. The rest of this guide is Wyrd's way.
One keyword for several pages
A Wyrd keyword can hold more than one address. Separate them with a vertical bar that has a space on each side.
- Type
> /homeand press Enter to open Wyrd's Keywords page. - Click + Add keyword. Type
morningas the keyword. - In the address, list the pages with
|between them:https://mail.example.com | https://calendar.example.com | https://board.example.com/team - Save. From now on, type
>, press Space, typemorningand press Enter.
The first page opens in the tab you are in and the others open in background tabs. Only a bar with spaces around it splits the pages, so a | inside an address is left alone. With search without the prefix set up, morning alone does the same.
Search several sites at once
Each page in the list can have its own %s. Save this as code:
https://github.com/search?q=%s | https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%s
Now > code flexbox gap sends the same words to both sites, each in its own tab. It works for comparing prices, checking a word in two dictionaries, or looking up a ticket in two tools.
When the set changes from day to day
A keyword is for a set that stays the same. For the tabs you have open right now, put the window away with > /clear and bring it back by name later; see save your tabs.
If it does not work
- Only the first page opens. Check that every
|has a space before and after it. - A page asks you to sign in every time. Sign in once in a normal tab; the keyword opens the same address you would.
