Maddy's SurfingKeys Configuration
=================================
This is my personal configuration for the wonderful [SurfingKeys](https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys) browser extension.
Its primary features include [keybindings for performing common actions](#site-specific-key-mappings) on many popular
sites, as well as OmniBar support for [auto-completing searches](#bundled-search-engine-completions) within <!--{{COMPL_COUNT}}--> sites (and growing)!

Features
--------
### Site-Specific Key Mappings
<!--{{KEYS_MAPS_COUNT}}--> key mappings for <!--{{KEYS_SITES_COUNT}}--> unique
sites have been included which can help you perform some common actions:
<table>
<tbody>
<!--{{KEYS_TABLE}}-->
</tbody>
</table>
### Bundled Search Engine Completions
There are currently <!--{{COMPL_COUNT}}--> Search Engine auto-completions.
You can access a Search Engine auto-completion by pressing the search leader key, which is `a` by default, followed by the search engine alias.
For example, to open the Wikipedia completion, you would type `awp` while in normal mode.

Installation
------------
### Dependencies
Building `surfingkeys-conf` requires a few dependencies to be installed:
- __Surfingkeys__ `^0.9.40`
- __git__
- __node__
- __gulp__
### Building & Installing
1. __Clone this repository__
```shell
$ git clone http://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf
$ cd surfingkeys-conf
```
2. __Install the NodeJS build dependencies__
```shell
$ npm install
```
3. __*(Optional)* Private API Key Configuration__
Some Search Engine Auto-Completions require private API keys for access. These
keys are defined in `conf.priv.js`, which is not itself included in this repository.
An example configuration containing instructions on how to generate each API key
can be found in [conf.priv.example.js](./conf.priv.example.js).
Copy the example private configuration:
```shell
$ cp ./conf.priv.example.js ./conf.priv.js
```
Open `./conf.priv.js` in your favorite editor and follow the instructions inside:
```shell
$ vim ./conf.priv.js
```
4. __Gulp Build/Install__
```shell
$ gulp install # OR "gulp build" to build to ./build/surfingkeys.js without installing
```
This will build the final configuration file and place it at `~/.config/surfingkeys.js`.
If you already have a file in that location, make sure you back it up first!
5. __Load your configuration into the SurfingKeys Extension__
<details>
<summary><strong>Option A</strong> <em>(recommended)</em>: Configure SurfingKeys to automatically load configuration file from disk</summary>
- __I.__ Visit [`chrome://extensions/`](chrome://extensions/) and enable `Allow access to file URLs` for the Surfingkeys extension
- __II.__ Open the SurfingKeys [configuration page](chrome-extension://mffcegbjcdejldmihkogmcnkgbbhioid/pages/options.html)
- __III.__ Set the `Load settings from` option to point to the configuration file.
_Note: you must specify the full, absolute path; environment variables like `$HOME` or the tilde `~` won't work_:
- __Linux__: `file:///home/{USERNAME}/.config/surfingkeys.js` (replace `{USERNAME}` with your username)
- __macOS__: `file:///Users/{USERNAME}/.config/surfingkeys.js` (replace `{USERNAME}` with your username)
- __Windows__: `file://%Homedrive%%Homepath%/surfingkeys.js` (This is a guess, please correct me if I'm wrong)
- __IV.__ Hack Away! If you ever make a change to any of your configuration files in the future, simply run `gulp install` again and your new configuration will automatically be loaded by SurfingKeys.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Option B</strong>: Manually copy/paste into the SurfingKeys configuration form</summary>
- __I.__ Copy the contents of `./build/surfingkeys.js` (or `$HOME/.config/surfingkeys.js` if you ran `gulp install`)
- __II.__ Open the SurfingKeys [configuration page](chrome-extension://mffcegbjcdejldmihkogmcnkgbbhioid/pages/options.html)
- __III.__ Paste into the text box, then press `save`
- __IV.__ Repeat steps 4 & 5 after any changes you make to any of your configuration files.
