I’ve published a few updates to SearchLink since we last talked, some bigger than others. Here’s a rundown of what’s new. URL Shortening First, I added more built-in URL shortening.

I recently published a Karabiner trick that turned [kbd semicolon] plus [kbd j / i / k / l] into arrow keys. I’ve determined that my implementation could use some work. Here’s the redux. [series_list KeyBinding] The original tip used Karabiner to turn [kbd semicolon] into a [kbd Fn] key when pressed with other keys,…

I wrote a pretty basic script a long time ago that converts TaskPaper files to Markdown for nice previewing/publishing. I recently updated it with a bunch of modernizations. I originally wrote this script (*goes to check*) — jebus, fifteen years ago. I guess I’ve been doing this stuff for a while now. Anyway, the original…

I missed the Mod-J/K/I/L arrow key navigation, so I hacked a little modification in using Karabiner that fills the gap. I’ve determined that this implementation is faulty. See the update for…

[series_list KeyBinding] This first one is a way to make tab switching ([kbd cmd-[ / ]]) slightly more convenient. I say…
