Ubiquity is Mozilla’s new tool that adds a command line to Firefox. We reported on it back in August 2008. Since then there have been a number of enhancement and upgrades to it. It is a very useful tool. In fact, it is so useful that I often wish I could use it from anywhere in Windows — and not just from within Firefox.
Enter UbiquityAnywhere. I created this small tool (using AutoHotkey) to give quick access to Ubiquity. UbiquityAnywhere provides two new hotkeys:
WIN + Q: Switch to Firefox (start it if necessary) and bring up Ubiquity.
WIN + W: Switch back to the application that was active when you pressed WIN + Q.
UbiquityAnywhere is a 200 kb download. It works on Windows, and requires Firefox with the Ubiquity add-on to be installed. UbiquityAnywhere assumes that you access Ubiquity with the default CTRL + SPACE key.
