Peek#

Quickly peek at your favorite web pages without breaking your flow.

Peek lets you choose 10 web pages to open with a keyboard shortcut, without opening a new tab, and able to close with the escape key.

I use this for:

• Translating text
• See my Github notifications
• Calendar schedule
• Check email periodically instead of having it open all the time
• Stock or cryptocurrency prices
• Slack instances I don't want loaded all the time
• Check the weather

Usage#

• Create up to 10 bookmarks with "peek#" plus the number 0-9 in the title. Eg "My favorite website peek#1".

• Use the keyboard shortcut alt+shift plus the number you put in the bookmark title to peek at that URL.

• A new minimal window will open with your chosen URL loaded.

• Hit the escape key to close the window.

(If no bookmark is configured for an index, Peek will just load about:home.)

TODO#

• ESC doesn't work sometimes

• test on windows/linux

• fix window to have a maximum size

• add feature to long-press links to peek (in pb mode?)
