About
Sift is a companion browser extension designed to work in tandem with the sift Neovim plugin. It enables keyboard-driven reference browsing directly from your text editor, helping you look up definitions, search queries, or documentation pages. HOW IT WORKS: When navigating lists or text files inside Neovim, you can trigger a reference lookup. Sift routes the query text and your pre-configured URL templates to this browser extension via a local native messaging host. The extension then handles the tab orchestration inside your browser automatically. KEY FEATURES: - Tab and Window Orchestration: Automatically creates a dedicated browser window for your lookup queries. Subsequent lookups update the active tab in this window rather than cluttering your desktop with new windows. - Tab Clean-up: To prevent tab bloat, the extension updates the active tab with your new lookup and removes inactive tabs in the designated reference window. - Keyboard-First Workflow: Browse through documentation or search engines without reaching for your mouse or losing your editing flow in the terminal. REQUIREMENT NOTICE: This extension is not a standalone tool. It requires the installation of the desktop sift Neovim plugin, Node.js, and the accompanying native messaging host executable on your computer. Detailed configuration steps and local helper binaries are available on the project's source repository.
