Sometimes I like to pretend I'm wandering around in the wilderness.
This is a little shortcut between a couple houses on one of my mail routes. I prefer this footpath over the alternative (crossing into a main road), even when the weather is bad.

You can also add alias/nickname for #bookmarks in Vivaldi .
You can even define a #keyboard (or #mouse) #shortcut or #menu item or toolbar #button to open, at once, one or several #url of your choice (via #CommandsChain feature)
Hello,
(feel free to reply here or on https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/streamlined-unified-user-experience-with-keyboard-shortcuts.97909/ )
As a long-time Mac user I have strong habits with a bunch of keyboard shortcuts. My new FreeBSD system is quite powerful and the XFCE desktop I’ve setup has started growing on me, even though macOS is my daily driver.
I’m using a Keychron Q11, BÉPO layout (https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/bepo2025.jpg) with some custom key bindings programmed in the keyboard firmware (VIA):
- the "print" key is mapped to a macOS "screen shot region" shortcut (super-shift-4)
- left knob is mapped to macOS combos to zoom out / zoom in / reset zoom
- right knob is mapped to generic (?) combos to Vol up / Vol down / Mute
I’m also relying on a second keyboard layer: pressing left or right "Fn" key activate the second layer that gives me access to a pseudo-numpad and media keys (https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/2layer2025.jpg).
XFCE customisation is still a work in progress but I’ve managed to setup some keyboard shortcuts like using the print key (super-shift-4) to trigger xfce-screenshooter -r. Works great.
Unfortunately I’m unable to create keyboard shortcuts that use the second layer: pressing "Fn" + "F8" should be recognised as Play/Stop, "Fn" + "F9" as Next, etc. but it looks like it’s not detected at all. I’ve used xev without success so far. It’s like the second layer is not here.
So my questions are:
- if I can make those media keys work (with your help), will they work in all apps (fooyin, firefox, VLC…) or will I face a YMMV situation depending on developers’ choices?
- how can I dig deeper to analyse and solve that problem?
Thank you!

@joesteel I’ve just found your toot by chance, and I’m not 100% sure if this is what you need, but if it is, it can be done with a single #shortcut action

A significant rewrite of my "Open URL in Another Browser" #shortcut:
https://routinehub.co/shortcut/16453/
This shortcut allows you to open URLs in a non-default browser, regardless of your system's default web browser.
v2.0 makes customizing the browser menu much easier, localizes the shortcut in all of iOS' languages and dialects, and increases the number of supported browsers to 15.
