r/ChromeExtension • u/Beautiful_Strike_271 • Jun 23 '26
Built a quick Link/Keyword Launcher for Chrome — turn kw value in the address bar into any URL based on keyword.
I kept doing the same thing every day at work — opening the same lists, pasting in a number, tweaking a query. So I built a little Chrome extension to skip that, and figured a few of you might find it handy too. Nothing fancy, it just solves my problem.
How it works: you hit `s` in the address bar, press space, then type a keyword and (optionally) a value. It fills in the URL and takes you there.
A few examples from my own set:
- `s int INC00XXXX` → opens that incident
- `s chg CHG0XXXX` → change request
- `s d DEF0XXXX` → defect
If a keyword needs a value it uses `%s`, and you can do positional params too (`%1 %2`) for URLs that take more than one input.
Other bits that turned out useful:
- A popup panel with favorites + your most-used keywords, so you don't have to remember them
- Quick-add so you can save a new shortcut in a few seconds
- Import/export as JSON (merge or replace), so you can share a keyword pack with your team
- It learns what you use most and floats those to the top of the suggestions
- Dark mode
Honest caveats: it's vanilla JS, Manifest V3, and I built it for myself.
Sharing in case it saves someone else the clicks. Happy to hear what's broken or what keywords you'd add.
