Earlier quoted context omitted.

"You can see an example module at http://goosh.org/ext/spon.js "

You quoted that-- sorry if this is a dumb question, but where did you find that information? Thanks in advance.

It is in the source: http://goosh.org/goosh.js

Personally I think this is fantastically cool. It is just going to take me a little while to stop typing "ls -l" and "mutt" at the prompt.

It's cool as a programming exercise, but I just can't see it being useful for me. If it can do something else, that might be cool, but it can't do much. ^k and dictionary bookmarks in firefox are far superior to using that shell. Dictionary bookmarks, for all those unaware, are a beautiful feature I rarely hear about. For example, go to en.wikipedia.org and right click inside the search text box on the left. Click on…

Ok, that is amazingly useful. I just added keywords for my most-used searches (generally special-purpose wikis). Way cool.

I see! Sorry. I totally forgot about that.

Firefox's Awesome Keywords are.. hmm.. awesome, but what if you need:

* a synchronization between different computers (the same keywords on different computers)

* to use other browser

* two or more parameters, e.g. to find Google Sets for "cat, and man"

* to combine multiple queries, e.g. to search for "hacker news" on Google and Yahoo

YubNub's examples:

  $ gset  man, cat 
http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=gset%20man%2C%20cat

  $ ms2 hacker news; g y
http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=ms2%20hacker%20news%3...
