Quix Help
Quix is a bookmarklet which opens a prompt, and then responds to commands. When you type
whois
, for instance, it’ll take you to a page with the whois of the domain you’re currently on. It can also understand more complex commands, likegs help
, that will make it go to Google, searching the current site for the text “help”.You can also select a word, and use that as extra input for the command. So for instance, when you select the word dictionary, then open Quix and just type
d
in the prompt, it’ll take you to a Google define: search for the word dictionary. The same would happen if you had not selected anything and typedd dictionary
directly.The available groups of commands:
- Basic commands
- Social commands
- WordPress
- SEO
- Webmaster
- Quix
- Analytics
- URL Shortening
- App Integration commands
- Mac Integration commands
