A minimal startpage for your browser
Based on Cade Scroggins's Tilde.
Most of the features are carried over from the original source. Few of the added features are:
!
, i.e. 2!
would launch everything under the second category.quickLaunch
property set to true
upon entering q!
.invert!
command.keys!
.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:
r
would redirect you to www.reddit.com.t
would redirect you to twitch.tv.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.
You can search any of the sites by typing a colon after the site's key, followed by your search query. For example:
g:tilde-enhanced
would search
GitHub for tilde-enhanced.y:cats
would search
Cats on YouTube.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:
r/r/startpages
would redirect you to
www.reddit.com/r/startpages
h/popular
would redirect you to
hypem.com/popular.If you enter in a full domain or URL, you will be redirected to said domain or URL. For example:
stallman.org
would redirect you to
stallman.org.keep.google.com
would redirect you to
keep.google.com.You can also use Ctrl + Enter
key combination to launch the query with a .com
TLD.
Additionally, you can pass any query via the q
query param. For example:
file:///path/to/tilde/index.html?q=cats
would search
Cats.This allows you to invoke Tilde with your native browser search bar.
Open up the config.js file and read through the CONFIG
!
By default Firefox won't let you set a custom URL for new tabs but there is a work-around to circumvent the problem.
You can follow Urimu's Guide to set your new tab to launch custom URLs.
Feel free to use this and modify it however you like.
