Host Jumper Autor: Viktar Nikifarau

Host Jumper jumps to saved paths on the site you are already visiting.

Save the screens you open all day — a cart, a settings page, a user record — and jump to them from a picker. You do not type the URL, and you do not walk the site’s menu. Only the path, query, and hash change. The host stays the same, so one list works on every site you use.

When the current page has an id in the query, hash, or path, placeholders fill it in. One saved path covers every record of that kind.

What you get

• A picker in the center of the page: Ctrl+Shift+F or the toolbar button
• Enter opens the path in this tab; Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac) opens it in a new tab
• Placeholders from the current URL: {id} from a query or hash parameter, {1} and {2} from path segments, {id,object} from the first of those names that has a value
• Add, edit, and reorder labeled paths on the options page
• Export and import JSON to copy the list between browsers, profiles, or machines
• Local storage only. Nothing is sent to a server

Example

On /item?object=42, the path /user?id={id,object} becomes /user?id=42.

Getting started

Open the options page from the picker, from about:addons in Firefox, or from chrome://extensions in Chrome. Add a label and a path such as /cart or /user?id={id,object}. On any http: or https: page, open the picker, type to filter, and press Enter.

The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+F on every platform, including Control+Shift+F on a Mac. Change it in Firefox under about:addons → gear menu → Manage Extension Shortcuts, or in Chrome at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
