Firefox:「サイドバーお気に入り症候群」から脱出するためのTips

サイドバーに「お気に入り」を表示させている人は意外と多いらしい。
僕はどうも昔から「お気に入り」(以下ブックマーク)とは相性が悪く(*1)、今ではプルダウンのブックマークはほとんど使っていない。どうしてもサイドバーにブックマークが欠かせないと言う人は、以下を実践することで、ブックマークをサイドバーに置く必要はほとんどなくなるのではないか。
- サイト更新の巡回はRSSリーダに任せる
- ソーシャルブックマークを活用する(はてなとかdel.icio.usとか)
- ブックマークツールバーを活用する(後述)
- Firefoxの機能、スマートキーワードを使う
- 必要そうなページは最初に全部タブで開いておく。
- 調べ物とかで「今だけ」必要なサイトは、ブックマークなどせずタブ開きっぱなしにしておくに留める(SessionSaver必須!)
- いっそのことgoogleから検索する
いやほんと、下手にブックマークとにらめっこするより、googleしちゃった方が早いと思うよ。それから、お気に入りをサイドバーに常時表示させてない人はどうしてるのかで紹介されている「Ctrl+l」+インクリメンタルサーチも有用。
ところで、先ほどブックマークはほとんど使わないと書いたが、自分の場合、以下は例外だ。
- オンラインマニュアルやリソースなどへのリンク
- 進行中の案件に関連するリンク
- 納品した案件に関連するリンク(問合せなどにすぐ対応できるようにするため)
- 仕事に必要だがパブリックにはできないリソース(DB関連とか)へのリンク
これら4つのフォルダは今でも頻繁に使われている。オンラインマニュアルの類はなぜかgoogleで上位に来ないことが多い。また仕事に関わるURLはいつも溢れているし、さすがにこれをソーシャルブックマークに入れるわけにもいかない。だがこれも仕事を始める時に関連するページを全部タブで開いてしまえばよいだけの話で、サイドバーに表示させる必要は感じない。
それからブックマークツールバーの活用についてだが、プロパティで「名前」を空文字列にすると、ツールバーにサイトのアイコンだけ並ぶようになるので沢山詰め込めてランチャのように使える。
こんな感じ。コトノハやmixiのアイコンが見える。「en」とあるのはWikipedia英語版。最小限の情報だけ付加するようにしている。bookmark.htmlを直接編集すればアイコンを手動で付加することも可能だ。
前述の最速インターフェイス研究会で紹介されていた「ブックマークレットにキーワードを割り当てられる」というのは知らなかった。さっそくやってみたが非常に便利だ。キーワード割り当ては、ツールバーに入れたままでもできるから移行は数分で終わった。POP辞書やソーシャルブックマークの使い勝手が格段に良くなった。
検索系にはもちろんキーワードを割り当てている。Wikipedia(*2)やオンライン辞書の使用頻度が高い。地図、Amazonなどもよく使う。
スマートキーワードでうまく登録できないサイト(特にPOSTを使ったもの)があるが、そういう時は右上の検索プラグインの方が融通が利く。僕はここに駅名を入れると、自宅の駅から入力された駅までの路線検索ができるようにしてある。この検索プラグインは、
\Documents and Settings
\USERNAME
\Application Data
\Mozilla
\Firefox
\Profiles
\XXXXXXXX.default
\searchplugins
以下にファイルを置くことで増やすことができる(*3)。
(*1)階層的にまとめるということをしないので(めんどくさい)、プルダウンが紙テープかよってくらい細長くなってしまう。
(*2)Wikipediaは検索フィールドから登録したあと、URLを「http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s」とすることで直接表示させるようにできる。なぜかたまに「%3F」の羅列が送られるようになってしまうが、登録をやりなおせばすぐ直る。
(*3)ある程度Webアプリケーションの知識が必要だが、既にインストールされているファイルが参考になるだろう。あるいは本家サイトのCreating OpenSearch plugins for Firefox - MDCを読んでもいい。
