Inappropriate?Similiar Topic..FYI
http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/to...
Localizing the verbs to other languages.
Removing unused Search verbs.. -
Inappropriate?There is no feature for doing this yet. We didn't think it was high enough priority to put into the 0.1 release. Consider your feature request acknowledged.
I think if you go to the command editor (use "command-editor" command) and write a new command which has the same name as an builtin command, you will overwrite the builtin command. But that's a very hacky way of doing things and it requires you to already know command development.
I’m unsure

Thanks for the information! -
maybe an edit command in the command list would be helpful (see http://www.getsatisfaction.com/mozill...) - something like this seems to be near: As to Heather "improving the interface for editing/developing commands is definitely on the to do list for Ubiquity".
-
Inappropriate?For thos who want to get their hands dirty, you can edit the builtin commands by editing the file extensions/ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com/chrome/content/builtincmds.js
(or extensions\ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com\chrome\content\builtincmds.js for windows folk) located in your firefox profile folder: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder -
Inappropriate?Rather than editing builtincmds.js directly inside the extension inside your profile (which could easily go wrong and destroy the extension, causing you to have to reinstall), I would recommend developing replacement commands in a command feed. (tutorial). You can then override builtin commands in the feed, and subscribe to your own feed to get the changes, as well as sharing them with others.

My reason is wanting to use some of the verbs as part of content when called from another verb. For example, if I start using Twitter and happen to have something highlighted I would like to be able to use 'this' in the Twitter message content and not have it treated like a Ubiq verb.
-
i wouldnt want to delete the built in commands but am curious about uninstalling 3rd party ones.

Beware hackers ! :P
-
It's not about removing the built-in commands but rather changing the priority (which gets shown nearer the top of the list) and changing the default set of commands shown on selections.
This aside having Twitter as the default command isn't justifiable (is this a marketing decision?). -
I'd also like to be able to mess around with built in commands in case something has gone wrong with them (which is what's happening to me right now)

Inappropriate?In my case, it would be a matter not so much of removing commands entirely, but rather removing/substituting commands available from the context menu. While I do appreciate choices, having 30 commands in the context menu is a bit of overkill. I would like to see an option dialog (open in Sidebar?) to configure this, probably with check boxes for each command so I can quickly and easily reconfigure my context menu according to my current agenda. As far as editing commands, Jono's advice seems sound; however, it would be nice to be able to assign my own keyword or alias for a command (or argument) without hand-coding it.
Regarding context menus and UI in general, I recently read an article that really seemed to touch on a lot of things I have been thinking about:
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/...
Pretty soon the proliferation of commands will (has) lead to overload and confusion (multiple commands with same names, etc) unless some strategies are developed. Command overloading (same name, different argument types), tags and keywords could (if done right) help the user to assign personal meanings and contexts to command names and perhaps even command arguments. For example, "home'' to be taken as my home address when mapping or delivering, "home'' to be taken as my home phone number when Skype-ing, "home" to mean go to my home page. Or "work call" to mean call using my work number and "private call" using my private number. These might make sense to me but not to someone else; thus the utility of user-defined tags and aliases. There could even perhaps be a way to track and auto-suggest them like delicious does with tags; this could help the community achieve consensus. Am I making sense?
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I would like to be able to edit some of the commands. For example, the Amazon book search command searches www.amazon.com - I am from the UK and would like to be able to change this to the UK version of amazon, without having to re-write the command entirely. I would also like to be able to delete some of the commands which I am never going to use (or at least disable thhem so that they don't appear in the list)
I’m Unsure

Inappropriate?I would really like to add my custom suggestions to the default suggestion list. For example, when I type "grapes", Ubiquity offers to search that term for me on a bunch of sites. I would like to integrate into that suggestion list, for example, substring matching of the titles of the currently open tabs. Having to type "tab grapes" is annoying when I could just type "grapes" and it would switch to my tab that is open to the wikipedia article on grapes.
Just to make it clear, I don't want you to write this tab functionality, I want the ability to add default actions to the list. Another use would be what we see in the AwesomeBar, but with Ubiquity - lets integrate bookmarks and history. Except in Ubiquity, I can code it to use by Google Bookmarks instead of Firefox's built in bookmarks (which I don't use).

Inappropriate?I really want to be able to edit the built-in commands. Why should the Amazon command only search for books? Amazon's search is smart enough to pretty much figure out what you meant, and it's simple enough to filter down once the page loads.
How about give each command its own 'edit' button?
-
Inappropriate?I too think it would be pretty cool if there was some kind of Alias functionality, so that if I wanted to rename an often used command (that someone else had written) to something shorter, I could.
At the moment having to copy the command locally and modify it is ok, but when the number of commands grows it would be tricky to manage. Having a way of locally aliasing a command would also allow you to have commands in your repository with duplicate names. For the times when you want access to two different implementations etc.
btw, anDy and Grosie: I have created an Amazon command (amazon-locale) that allows you to specify the country of the Amazon service. It defaults to .co.uk and uses a 'Blended' search, i.e. not just books.. http://garyhodgson.com/ubiquity/amazo... -
Inappropriate?I'm wanting to improve a search function for torrents, and would like to be able to do as much without having to worry about all the extre k'la involved in disassembling an entire code block for a single line update.
I’m silly
-
Inappropriate?type "about:ubiquity" in the address bar in Firefox, this will bring up the Ubiquity settings page. In the lower right of the page, you will find the Subscribed Feeds area. Under this heading, you will be able to unsubscribe from any command you like. This will remove the Command.
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?Does anyone know where the Ubiquity commands are located? Finding the source code should make it relatively easy to edit them. I would like for the weather command to pull from The Weather Channel's website rather than its current source
I’m wondering

Inappropriate?Hi everyone! Just wanted to update you on the status of all these great suggestions!
To disable installed commands, you can run the command "command-list" and use the checkboxes to disable and enable commands.
The "built in" commands are now mostly subscribed via feeds. You can view all your subscriptions by running the "help" command. Under "Subscribed Feeds" (in the main tab for Ubiquity 0.1.8 and before, in the "Your Commands" tab for Ubiquity 0.1.9 and later) you can view the source of most of the commands. If you want to change them, you can copy the source from there and paste it into the command editor.
If you make a major improvement to a built-in command, please post about it on the google group.
-
Inappropriate?Also, CmdUtils.CreateCommand supports "hidden" aliasing. Add
synonyms: ["whatever", "you", "want"]
to your command.
You can see this in action by typing "about", which is a synonym for the help command.
