Bolton's Talon Settings

This is a folder I created to house my Talon settings. It is meant to live in the user talon folder, e.g.:

.talon
|- user
  |- bolton-talon
  |- community
  |- cursorless-settings
  |- cursorless-talon
  |- rango-talon

My Settings Philosophy

I am a relatively new talon user, and I am finding that the number of builtin commands in community is too few for my tastes. Here is what I would like to have, in a perfect world (in the form of a checklist):

  • The websites.csv website.talon-list file of community would be greatly expanded.
    • This should contain basically any top-1000 SFW english-language website which is referred to by:
      • a word,
      • a homophone of a word,
      • or a concatentation of words
    • It should also contain popular subdomains/directory of sites
    • Websites for software projects should be available as well:
      • many of the top-100-by-stars GitHub repos should exist as "{word or phrase} GitHub"
      • Package manager sites should be present
        • top pypi packages should exist as "python {word or phrase}" (linking to the site when possible, not the pypi page)
        • top cargo packages as "cargo {word or phrase}"
        • etc.
    • Really, rather than having websites.csv file at all, whenever a website is expected, it should just return the top search engine result queried on the spoken phrase.
  • Popular websites with keyboard shortcuts
    • YouTube
      • All the commands that are displayed on by typing "?" should have voice commands.
      • "Go to time xxx"
    • GitHub
    • Zulip
  • More app specific commands
    • Basically any menu bar item for a popular macOS app should be present
      • With the name of the command in the bar matching the spoken command
      • See AXKit for how to do this
  • There should more often be multiple phrases for the same command
    • Instead of confusion over word order of "tab new"/"new tab" the word order should appear both ways.
    • Although if only one can exist, I would prefer the more common word order.
      • e.g. "new tab" over "tab new".
      • Which is not how it seems to be by default.
