Browser Open (touch-browser-open)
Browser Open (touch-browser-open)
Version 1.1.0 requires a host supporting
sdkapi: 261001, including initialization-time SDK calls, one-shot query preservation, and browser discovery fixes. Tuff 2.4.14-beta.55 is the first compatible release; beta.54 and earlier clients reject activation. Other plugins can continue to use previously supported SDK markers.
When to Use
- You copied a URL and want it open in a local browser with one Enter — no pasting.
- You want a specific browser (Chrome, Safari, or any other installed one) to open a link.
- You want plain text sent straight to a search engine, or a one-key shortcut such as Weibo trending.
Trigger
Everything below works straight from the CoreBox root — no need to enter a feature first:
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
example.com, https://example.com/a?b=1, or a URL just copied to the clipboard | An "open in |
Any plain text (e.g. weather in Shenzhen) | A "search with |
A hot-entry keyword (e.g. 微博 or 微博热搜) | An "open Weibo trending" row appears; one Enter opens the page |
Explicit push features (unchanged behaviour):
| Feature ID | Purpose |
|---|---|
browser-open | Push mode: pick the default browser, a specific browser, a recent browser, or copy the URL |
web-search | Push mode: enter search mode with the default or a chosen engine, including suggestions |
search-engine-google / search-engine-bing / search-engine-duckduckgo / search-engine-baidu | Push mode: enter that engine's search mode |
browser-open-settings | Settings surface: manage search engines and hot/quick entries |
Commands: url / link / open / 浏览器 / 网页 / 搜索 / google / bing / duckduckgo / 百度.
Core Capabilities
- Copied URLs open directly: the URL is read from the query's own input payload, so no paste step is needed.
http(s)links,www.hosts and bare domains such asexample.comare accepted. - Single Enter: direct actions open the link without leaving CoreBox waiting for a second confirmation.
- Chosen browser: entries are generated from the host's live browser inventory; a fresh short-lived token is requested at execution time, and neither paths nor tokens are persisted.
- Configurable search engines: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Baidu are built in; add or remove your own engines, each with a
{query}template and URL-encoded input. - Hot / quick entries: Weibo trending (
https://s.weibo.com/top/summary) ships enabled; add your own name, keyword and URL. - Never hijacks files or paths: inputs such as
README.md,~/Workspaceor/Users/me/fileare not routed to web search. - Supported platforms:
win32, darwin.
