Note that you can also jump to the address bar without Vimium or a mouse by using the combination ‘Ctrl/Cmd + t’. Together with the aliases I hit ‘t’, followed by, say, ‘bqdoc/’, and press Enter, after which I have opened the BigQuery documentation page in a new tab. That reduces searching and clicking considerably.

įrom there I’m two clicks away from any other project of any of the services with an alias.Īlternatively, I have a secondary alias for another commonly used project. I usually have a go-to GCP project, which is represented by. pipeline/#/pipelinesĬ/mlengine/jobs?organizationId=&project=Ĭ/iam-admin/quotas?project=Īpp./dashboards/?project=Ĭ/support/cases?organizationId=&tabId=cases scio/api/com/spotify/scio/values/SCollection.htmlĬ/bigquery?project=Ĭ/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/functions-and-operatorsĬ/project//hosting/usage/current-billing/storage

No need to click around or bookmark a page.ī/documentation/sdks/javadoc/ Please note that wherever you see, you must replace the ellipsis with the relevant identifier.Īs an example, if I type pr/ in the address bar and hit Enter subsequently, I see all open pull requests of the team or organization I am interested in. Ghe.net/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+user%3A+sort%3Aupdated-desc+ I have divided these into three categories: basic services, libraries and APIs, and GCP.Ī/analytics/web/#/report-home/į/i/collection/content/user//category/global.all The advantage of the Chrome extension is that it only applies to text typed in the address bar in Chrome, so you can still type ‘s/’ anywhere else without it being auto-replaced by the URL.Īliases are synchronized to your Google account when signed in to Chrome.īelow are some of the URL aliases I have set up. You can use a text expander, such as aText, too. URL Alias Rewrite is an extention for Google Chrome that allows you to redirect aliases to an arbitrary URL.įor instance, you type ‘s/’ in the address bar, hit Enter, and it loads en./wiki/Spoon#Manufacture if you happen to be curious about how spoons are made and need to come back to that page again and again. The key to fast access to GCP services are aliases and a vim-like user experience.

So, how can you use the keyboard to boost your productivity in Google Chrome? It requires a lot of clicking, even with pinned products in the side bar.Īs a developer I prefer the keyboard to the mouse. When you work with the Google Cloud Platform, is your home base outside of the Cloud SDK.
