I think there may be a other people who would want to build little 'suites' of custom searches like I did, in which case it might be helpful to make it clear in the README.md that it's possible to install more than one 'fallback'. Or perhaps have a 'custom search suite template' repo that people can fork and customise.
I've gotta say, though - awesome work on Zazu, and also for the neat way Zazu pulls in plugins from GitHub
@pacharanero if you are okay with copy/pasta you could just define your custom searches in the zazu config:
we're building a custom Ubuntu distro for NHS (National Health Service) workers
so we can package Zazu in that. (we'll have to create a PPA for it I think)
@Netanel1244 yes, in theory any of the systems through which your credit card number passes when you type it, could misuse it. Clipboard managers are one example, but we also have to trust our operating system (Windows 10 sends all your keystrokes to Microsoft, for example) and our web browsers, not to mention the e-commerce website itself. To some extent using an open source clipboard manager such as Zazu is safer (than using a closed source one) because we can inspect the code at https://github.com/tinytacoteam/zazu-clipboard and verify that it doesn't send information to another party.
You're right to have privacy concerns in general though - anyone who doesn't think about privacy these days is clearly not awake!
@Netanel1244 exactly zazu plugins do have access to your clipboard. The clipboard manager itself however does not store anything it thinks is “sensitive”. Often password managers like 1password or lastpass mark the clipboard with metadata that the clipboard manager can use to ignore it, so it’s never stored in plain text.
@anonfunc it was created to be github specific, but I’d be open to doing other git sources like gitlab or bitbucket. Not npm though. You could theoretically put a npm package that does everything on npm and just have the github part just interface with it if you wanted to get around my arbitrary restriction haha
@anonfunc ^^
it does find everything else though
@cfontes It needs to be in one of these directories:
https://github.com/tinytacoteam/zazu-file-finder/blob/master/directories.js#L67-L69
Which it sounds like you put a symlink in /usr/bin so that should be fine. It also needs to be executable:
https://github.com/tinytacoteam/zazu-file-finder/blob/master/lib/file.js#L45-L47
So I’m not sure symlinks work
I receive the following message when I toggle it Zazu requires plugins to work!
I saw playsound in output, but I didn't find any plugins use it, someone have examples?
@blainesch I wrote a plugin myself. In zazu.json's input, I want two keywords to trigger an event at the same time. Do I need to write it two times? Or can you write it together?
{
"name": "xiamiMusic",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "xiami music.",
"blocks": {
"input": [
{
"id": "xiamiMusic",
"type": "PrefixScript",
"prefix": "title",
"space": true,
"args": "Required",
"script": "src/search.js",
"connections": ["YuYinPlay"]
},
{
"id": "xiamiMusic",
"type": "PrefixScript",
"prefix": "name",
"space": true,
"args": "Required",

"connections": ["YuYinPlay"]
}
],
"output": [
{
"id": "YuYinPlay",
"type": "playSound"
}
]
}
}title and name
but if i manually copy pasted it inside the json file it didnt work
now to think of some plugin that would be useful, for example sunrise and sunset times :), or rss feeds, or mqtt publish stuff for home automation
