What if each awesomebar option (assuming the awesomebar and Ubiquity options are integrated) had an assigned number, á la the Google results in the Ubiquity of present. So, you hit the number, and you get the side scroll to the results (Aza demoed something like this, I think) Just throwing more ideas out there ;]</p> A quick idea; Currently, tabbing through each of the options (with the awesomebar) is somewhat inefficient, and bringing the mouse in loses time.

I'll be sure to brainstorm and submit; thing is, though, in the end, a Ctrl+L is easier than using the mouse (for a keyboard/hotkey-centric workflow), but using the address bar will be less cluttered versus a popup interface (as of now). Regardless, I'll give it a shot. Aza's old mockups (i.e. Taskfox) are pretty sweet as is.</p> Great work with this tool, mitcho!

And I think it should totally replace the url bar and the search bar. No more keyboard shortcuts to open it. It would be nice if ubiquity launched as soon as you started typing. It would also be nice to have ubiquity extend to the desktop as well. I can imagine selecting files on my harddrive and using ubiquity to upload them to facebook or youtube or whatever. But I suppose that's wishful thinking at this point.</p> I really like ubiquity. And I think it should totally replace the url bar and the search bar. No more keyboard shortcuts to open it.

Editing the code in the browser there is required for Persistence due to the security needs of accessing the active Ubiquity parser, but it would be possible to make that editor Bespin. We may look into that for future iterations of Persistence.</p> Yes, it'd be great to integrate this (and more of Ubiquity in general) with Bespin… Editing the code in the browser there is required for Persistence due to the security needs of accessing the active Ubiquity parser, but it would be possible to make that editor Bespin.
