As we can digg page thanks to ubiquity, it could be nice to be able to send it to facebook or myspace (bulletin / blog ...). Actually be able to do like the addthis button.

Why can't I see line numbers in view source? In my Firebug I can see that a style rule exists on a specific line - but in the built in source view in Firefox I can in no way find that line without counting manually.

I think it would be a great feature if ubiquity would have an option to mirror itself on all of your installations of Firefox. I have Firefox on all of my computers, and rather than having to add commands to every computer every time I find one I like or create, having them auto-update themselves would be awesome (much like Foxmarks keeps my Bookmarks mirrored).

Also, the clearing of commands when clearing private data and/or crashing needs to go NOW, not later, because even more than having my commands not on every PC is having my commands disappear all together.

If this idea has already been presented and I didn't see it, just ignore me. :)

I will love to add elements to Google Note by a little Ubiquity command-line.
Simply add a link and create a note on an already created notepad !

It would be great to see a website like addons.mozilla.org for Ubiquity commands. Or maybe addons.mozilla.org can just add a section exclusively for Ubiquity commands.

As it stands now, the method of getting new commands is pretty non-user friendly, and pretty hard to find the commands you want.

If there was a "marketplace" for Ubiquity commands, it would be much better for everyone:
developers can upload screenshots, add descriptions, etc. & users can search for the commands, veiw them in action before subscribing, etc.

Perhaps the "herd" can evolve into this, but at the moment, the herd is just not very organized or user-friendly.

I would definitely like to see some external application launching ability.

Personally, I'd like to be able to Ubiq:

email MESSAGE from x to Sarah

and have Thunderbird appear, select my inbox/account that most closely matches x, and compose an email containing MESSAGE to the person on my contacts list who most closely matches Sarah.

But that's just me. I'd really love to see Ubiquity go a lot farther in the realm of all in one linguistic computing. But I'll settle for Thunderbird integration for a start.

Honestly, this is a feature that I'm not entirely sure that I would use. Being a nerd and a programmer I love the text based terminal interface. But if I were the kind of person intimidated by that flashing command line prompt, I might not be nearly as excited about ubiquity as I am. So maybe at some point voice recognition might not be a bad idea, though perhaps it should be when the plugin is further along in its development. With voice recognition, I could easily see ubiquity becoming, well, ubiquitous.

go to facebook, go to hotmail, go to gmail, go to yahoo, go to amazon, go to cnet, go to dpreview. i think it would be nice if Ubiquity could have a list of common websites (and their abbreviations) which can be updated by the community. the user would just type "go to <website name="true">". if there are more than one website with similar titles, the user could be shown both websites and be allowed to choose which one to go to.</website>

The define works fine, but how about something like "define <word> with wiktionary in <language>" so that you don't go to answers.com by default? it should also recognize rearrangements, i.e.: "define <word> in <language> with wiktionary". if the person typed "define <word> with answers" it would go to answers.com</word></language></word></language></word>

When you've selected a piece of text, your eyes are generally focused on that part of the screen. So why not have Ubiquity appear above, below, to the right or left etc in relation to what's selected so that you don't need to refocus your attention to the upper left every time. Imagine if a context menu appeared at the same spot of the screen regardless of what you selected or clicked :P

It would be really useful if, in addition to showing the current weather, you could ask for a certain unit of time in advance and get the forecast of that time. It would even be even cooler, if you could do something like...

weather (location) (some time in the future) (frequency of forecast)

and maybe it would be able to give the weather forecast in increments of time from now until the specified date. That might be overdoing it because I don't necessarily know where that data would come from, but at least the forecasting would be a great addition.

The email command currently brings you to the Gmail compose page. It would be great if you could add a word to the command line that would automatically send the email without taking you to that page. Or maybe a prefix. Maybe 'auto-email' or adding 'auto' to the end of an 'email' command line.

Ex: auto-email this to dad

Ex: email this to dad auto(matically)

I think that changing the icon or highlighting the icon of the RSS feed(s) when they are new posts would be nice. And maybe a small number over the icon indicating how many new posts they're are. That would be cool...

That would let the user now right away when they're are new posts to read.

And also perhaps, when the user hovers over a feed post, they could see snippets of the post before clicking on it.

In Firefox 3, clicking the download status in the statusbar brings up the downloads box. I sometimes do this in the middle of a download to quickly check the status of a download. However, I then expect that by clicking the download status again, it will close the box (just as ctrl-y will bring up the box, then dismiss it). Instead, it merely causes the download box to re-open. Please fix this!

OpenSearch search engines should work in Ubiquity by issuing "(Search engine name) (query)".

A Ubiquity command has been added that works to issue "Search (query) with (search engine name)" (http://theunfocused.net/moz/ubiquity/...). Useful, but not the ideal verbiage; it tries to fit everything into "Search ____" when the default search engines (e.g. Google, Amazon) already do not fit that mold.

This was reported before (in a mass report): http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/to.... This topic specifically addresses the OpenSearch idea.

How about having the "last-email" command show also the date and the time of the last email? Now the program displays some lines of the last unread email. How about displaying the last received email (or conversation), may it be read or unread?
Thanks

How about doing "joins" on data, like "yelp restaurants near SF MOMA with (searchmenus chow mein under $5)" ... assuming there is a service "searchmenus" that has all the menus and pricing info for restaurants...

How about using something more attractive than the crappy looking windows toaster displays? Something like Snarl for windows? I guess this is like Grown for the Mac users? (Please correct me if I'm wrong??)

Just curious if its possible to make it step outside of the browser to add events or info to other apps like iCal or Address Book or anything like that.

Title says it all. Typing e.g. INEX FTW could give "For The Win"
