To Do List

Functionality in order of priority

  1. Prevent newtab from autofocusing omnibox (doesn't seem possible as of now. sigh.)
  2. Hotkey to focus prompt input
  3. .bashrc (at the very least PS1 & bash syntax, I want to customize my shell prompt :D {Note: vi needs to be completed before this point})
  4. Google Drive API (make a folder for saving files in case they want to be accessed locally)
  5. Settings page / .Xresources (colors, font settings)
  6. About page (sysinfo, about/suggestions)

Commands

  • cowsay
  • ps
  • vi (or some basic text editor in general)
