To go to a site, enter the corresponding key. To view the available sites and their keys, press `enter`. If your input doesn't match any of the commands, a generic Google search will be triggered. For example:
## Examples
* Entering `t` would redirect you to [twitter.com](https://twitter.com).
* Entering `r` would redirect you to [www.reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com).
* Entering `cats` would search [Google for cats](https://www.google.com/search?q=cats).
```
t # takes you to Twitter
u/new # takes you to the new photos on Unsplash
r/r/unixporn # takes you to the unixporn subreddit
a: zen mind # searches Amazon for zen mind
cats # searches Google for cats
```
### Searching
You get the idea...
You can search any of the sites by typing a colon after the site's key, followed by your search query. For example:
* Entering `w: unix` would search [Wikipedia for unix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix).
* Entering `s: smash mouth` would search [SoundCloud for smash mouth](https://soundcloud.com/search?q=smash%20mouth).
### Specific Locations
You can go to a specific location on a site by typing a forward slash after the site's key, followed by the location on the site you'd like to be redirected to. For example:
* Entering `r/r/unixporn` would redirect you to [www.reddit.com/r/unixporn](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn)
* Entering `u/new` would redirect you to [unsplash.com/new](https://unsplash.com/new).
### URL Redirects
If you enter in a full domain or URL, you will be redirected to said domain or URL. For example:
* Entering `stallman.org` would redirect you to [stallman.org](https://stallman.org/).
* Entering `https://www.amazon.com` would redirect you to [www.amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/).
