Anyone? This is making Ubiquity quite unusable for me if common commands like search and wikipedia don't work with highlighted text!

Thanks

Any ideas? Thanks

Wikipedia preview for selected text

Ubiquity 0.5.4, Firefox 3.5.3

The wikipedia command preview suddenly stopped working for selected text. It works fine for text typed in the Ubiquity window.

Adding preview to new search command

The define command is powered by answer.com. This is great but I would like to use dictionary.com also. So I go to dictionary.com, click in the Search box, summon Ubiquity and issue the "create search command" to create a "dict" command.

This works fine but I don't get the search results in that neat little preview window like with the builtin define command. IMHO the best part about Ubiquity is that the results appear in real-time in the main overlay window itself.

How can I modify the generated search command to show results in the preview?

Thanks

Yup, that works like a charm. Thanks! – vikasa, on July 21, 2009 19:45

vikasa marked one of satyr's replies in Mozilla as useful. satyr replied to the question "Shortcut/hotkey without any modifier".

vikasa replied on July 20, 2009 21:27 to the question "Shortcut/hotkey without any modifier" in Mozilla:

Yes, I meant the F keys at the top of the keyboard. I really want to invoke Ubiquity without using any modifier keys and the F1...12 keys would appear to be the only keys that would have the least conflict with any existing functionality.

How about it?

A comment on the question "Shortcut/hotkey without any modifier" in Mozilla:

But isn't the "F1" key used by most software, including Firefox, as the de-facto Help key? Couldn't Ubiquity use it instead? – vikasa, on July 20, 2009 21:05

Shortcut/hotkey without any modifier

Is there a way to use a Function key without any modifier as my Ubiquity hotkey? Why the restriction to have a modifier (Alt,Ctrl,etc)?

Yup, works fine now. Thanks!

Commands written using old API

Version 0.5pre2

I see that a lot of the built-in commands/feeds are marking commands as "old api" and thus disabling them.

I also keep getting periodic warnings about verbs not being able to be parsed in Parser 2 and such.

The parser warnings don't bother me but when commonly used commands like "define" stop working, that's a show-stopper!

Comments? Thanks. Keep up the great work.

That's really a bummer.

Can someone from AideRSS chime in here? Google Reader is one of the most popular RSS readers out there, is there a way PostRank feeds can work reliably with it? Please!

vikasa replied on June 22, 2009 11:15 to the question "No new items in Google Reader" in PostRank:

One more thing...when I go to http://feedvalidator.org and put in the PostRank feed URL, it comes up as "Not Valid"

http://feeds.postrank.com/9e67da1a9cd...

I am sure other people have this issue too.

vikasa replied on June 22, 2009 11:11 to the question "No new items in Google Reader" in PostRank:

I tried that (added &foo=1234 to the feed url) but it doesn't seem to help. Reader still doesn't notify me of new items in the feed until I actually visit the feed (which defeats the purpose)

Any other ideas?

vikasa replied on June 18, 2009 13:17 to the question "No new items in Google Reader" in PostRank:

I think it is (b) except the items show up as bold/unread only when I visit that subscription. My Reader is setup to show only subscriptions with Unread items. Nothing ever shows up in this PostRank feed until I visit that folder. See http://screencast.com/t/6wBQjEPxJW It is really weird. Is this a Google Reader bug?

vikasa asked a question in PostRank on June 17, 2009 14:21:

No new items in Google Reader

I added http://feeds.postrank.com/27bced44f02... as a feed to Google Reader but it never shows any "new" items. When I go to that feed, the item titles are "bold" indicating unread items! Very strange.

Help? Thanks

Hm, you are right. I just went to my drop again in Firefox and I can see my media just fine. Must have been some glitch in my browser settings. Sorry for the false alarm. Thanks!

I cannot see pictures I uploaded using Firefox

I uploaded some pictures (JPG) to my drop. When I go to drop.io/name/media, I cannot see the pictures using Firefox 3. Using IE 6 works fine! Help? Thanks
