Requires Surfingkeys v1.0.0 or newer
.
Coming soon!
-
Clone this repository
-
Install the NodeJS build dependencies
$ npm install
-
Install gulp-notify dependencies (steps required on WSL)
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin
- git
- node.js v17
-
Clone
$ git clone http://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf $ cd surfingkeys-conf
-
Install Node.js dependencies
$ npm install
-
Gulp Build/Install
$ npm run gulp install # OR "npm run gulp build" to build to ./build/surfingkeys.js without installing
This will build the final configuration file and place it at
~/.config/surfingkeys.js
. If you already have a file in that location, make sure you back it up first! -
Load your configuration into the SurfingKeys Extension
Option A (recommended): Configure SurfingKeys to automatically load the configuration file
Local File Access (Chrome/Chromium only)
-
I. Visit
chrome://extensions/
and enableAllow access to file URLs
for the Surfingkeys extension. -
II. Open the SurfingKeys configuration page:
chrome-extension://gfbliohnnapiefjpjlpjnehglfpaknnc/pages/options.html
. -
III. Set the
Load settings from
option to point to the configuration file.Note: you must specify the full, absolute path; the tilde
~
or environment variables like$HOME
won't work:- Linux:
file:///home/{USERNAME}/.config/surfingkeys.js
(replace{USERNAME}
with your username) - macOS:
file:///Users/{USERNAME}/.config/surfingkeys.js
(replace{USERNAME}
with your username) - Windows:
file://%Homedrive%%Homepath%/surfingkeys.js
(This is a guess, please correct me if I'm wrong)
- Linux:
-
IV. Repeat these steps after you make any changes to your configuration files. Your new configuration will be automatically loaded by SurfingKeys.
Local Web Server (Chrome, Chromium, and Firefox)
-
I. Run the configuration file server:
-
II. Open the SurfingKeys configuration page:
Chrome:
chrome-extension://gfbliohnnapiefjpjlpjnehglfpaknnc/pages/options.html
Firefox:
moz-extension://7b04efeb-0b36-47f6-9f57-70293e5ee7b2/pages/options.html
-
III. Set the
Load settings from
option tohttp://localhost:9919
-
IV. SurfingKeys will lose the settings as soon as the local web server shuts down. You will likely want to configure your system to automatically start the server on login.
If you run Linux with systemd, an example user service is provided in this repo. You will need to modify it to contain the proper path to your
surfingkeys-conf
repo. -
V. Repeat the
npm run gulp build
command from step 4 above after you make any changes to your configuration files. Your new configuration will be automatically loaded by the web server and SurfingKeys will pick it up the next time you load a webpage.
Option B: Manually copy/paste into the SurfingKeys configuration form
-
I. Copy the contents of
./build/surfingkeys.js
(or$HOME/.config/surfingkeys.js
if you rangulp install
) -
II. Paste the contents into the SurfingKeys configuration page:
Chrome:
chrome-extension://gfbliohnnapiefjpjlpjnehglfpaknnc/pages/options.html
Firefox:
moz-extension://7b04efeb-0b36-47f6-9f57-70293e5ee7b2/pages/options.html
-
III. Repeat these steps after you make any changes to your configuration files. Your new configuration will be automatically loaded by SurfingKeys.

Some omnibar search engine integrations require private API keys for access (marked with a β in the table above).
These keys are to be defined in ./src/conf.priv.js
, which should be created based on the template: ./src/conf.priv.example.js
.
The template contains instructions on how to generate each API key.
Note: The ./src/conf.priv.js
does not exist in the repository, you need to copy the template file. The conf.priv.js
should not be commited!
- Copy the example private configuration:
$ cp ./src/conf.priv.example.js ./src/conf.priv.js
- Open
./src/conf.priv.js
in your favorite editor and follow the instructions inside:
$ vim ./src/conf.priv.js
This project provides a local web server which:
- Serves your configuration file via HTTP
- Serves additional API routes for certain search engines, like the
unicode
search engine.
To run the local web server, follow steps 1-3 in the installation instructions above, then run:
$ gulp serve-simple
Alternatively, you can use the gulp serve
task, which also automatically rebuilds the configuration file whenever a source file is modified.
If you wish to use the local web server, you will likely want it to start automatically with your PC.
If you run Linux with systemd, an example user service is provided for this purpose.
You will need to modify it to contain the proper path to your surfingkeys-conf
repo.
Note: This starts a local web server on localhost:9919
which serves your built configuration file and additional API endpoints. Depending on your firewall configuration, other devices on your network may be able to read your configuration file, including any private API keys or other secrets you have configured in conf.priv.js
. Proceed with caution.
