# Tilde Enhanced
Based on [Cade Scroggins](https://github.com/cadejscroggins)'s [Tilde](https://github.com/cadejscroggins/tilde).
## Screenshots
## Added Features
Most of the features are carried over from the original source.
Few of the added features are:
- A launch category functionality, which launches every site in a category. Enter a category index number followed by `!`, i.e. `2!` would launch everything under the second category.
- A "Quick Launch" functionality, which launches every site with `quickLaunch` property set to `true` upon entering `q!`.
- An invertible color theme. Either edit config or use `invert!` command.
- Show image or SVG as bookmark icon
- An option to show launch keys instead of icons. Either edit config or type `keys!`.
## Usage
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:
- Entering `r` would redirect you to [www.reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com).
- Entering `t` would redirect you to [twitch.tv](https://www.twitch.tv).
- Entering `cats` would search [Cats](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cats).
Note that by default, queries are searched on DuckDuckGo but this can be
configured easily by updating two lines on. Check [Configuration](#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.
### Searching
You can search any of the sites by typing a colon after the site's key, followed
by your search query. For example:
- Entering `g:tilde-enhanced` would search
[GitHub for tilde-enhanced](https://github.com/search?q=tilde-enhanced).
- Entering `y:cats` would search
[Cats on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cats).
### Specific Locations
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:
- Entering `r/r/startpages` would redirect you to
[www.reddit.com/r/startpages](https://www.reddit.com/r/startpages)
- Entering `h/popular` would redirect you to
[hypem.com/popular](http://hypem.com/popular).
### URL Redirects
If you enter in a full domain or URL, you will be redirected to said domain or
URL. For example:
- Entering `stallman.org` would redirect you to
[stallman.org](https://stallman.org/).
- Entering `keep.google.com` would redirect you to
[keep.google.com](https://keep.google.com/).
You can also use `Ctrl + Enter` key combination to launch the query with a `.com` TLD.
### Query Paramater
Additionally, you can pass any query via the `q` query param. For example:
- Going to `file:///path/to/tilde/index.html?q=cats` would search
[Cats](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cats).
This allows you to invoke Tilde with your native browser search bar.
## Configuration
Open up the [config.js](js/config.js) file and read through the `CONFIG`!
## Setting it up for new tabs on Firefox
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](https://github.com/Urimu/Startpage#setting-it-up-on-firefox) to set your new tab to launch custom URLs.
