We constructed and very useful. As a linux command line banger with regular alias usage, this extension is already one of my favorites of all time. [ go [tab] fb ] => "https://www.facebook.com/" **Feature recommendations:** 1. add function to edit/remove Groups. As a new user, I make mistakes and want to be able to edit and remove groups. As an experienced user, my interests change and I want to be able to remove groups I no longer use. 2. add the ability to use Group keyword as OMNI keyword. given group[Google] => "g" given redirect["g"]["cal"] => "https://calendar.google.com/" rather than: go [tab] gcal -> "https://calendar.google.com" use group keyword for omni: g [tab] cal -> "https://calendar.google.com" 3. Check that OMNI keywords are not already used. I actually already had "go" used for Google and almost threw in the towel too soon as it wouldn't work as intended for me. (this would also be useful if you implement the Group OPTION to make the Group keyword an OMNI keyword redirect (feature #2 above)

It seems it doesn't work anymore. Also Miguel Uber is right, we need to be able to add local adresses and resources.

I need it specifically to go to a locally hosted server on my network that uses an IP and port, I don't feel like setting up a host for it so I was hoping this would work. But it seems like it expects a domain name. Please enable use of IPs with and without ports (127.0.0.1:8080) and file protocol (file:///Users/...). Or just remove the requirement in general.
