  Quick Navigation Made Simple
  
  GoSlash transforms your address bar into a powerful shortcut launcher. Just type "go" followed by a keyword to instantly navigate to your favorite sites.
  
  How It Works
  
  1. Type "go" in the address bar and press Tab or Space 
  2. Type your shortcut (e.g., "yt" for YouTube)
  3. Press Enter - you're there!
  
  Examples
  
  - `go yt` - Opens YouTube
  - `go gm` - Opens Gmail
  - `go council/tax` - Opens a grouped shortcut
  - `go gh/openai` - Opens github.com/openai
  - `go g hello world` - Searches Google for "hello world"
  - `go /` - Opens settings to manage your shortcuts
  
  Features
  
  Custom Shortcuts
  Create your own shortcuts for any website. Add as many as you need.
  Type go / for options page or click on extension while you are on a page to add it to shortcuts
  
  Shortcut Groups
  Create groups, add shortcuts under them, rename groups with automatic shortcut updates, and delete unused groups safely.
  
  Dynamic Templates
  Use `{path}` and `{query}` in URLs for powerful dynamic shortcuts:
  - `github.com/{path}` - Type `go gh/microsoft/vscode` to visit any repo
  - `google.com/search?q={query}` - Type `go g your search` for quick searches
  
  Usage Statistics
  Track which shortcuts you use most. Sort by usage to see your favorites.
  
  Filter & Search
  Quickly find shortcuts with the built-in search filter.
  
  Import & Export
  Back up your shortcuts and groups or share them between devices with JSON export/import.
  
  Privacy first
  Uses Chrome's built-in sync storage. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers.
  
  Default Shortcuts
  
  GoSlash comes with these shortcuts pre-configured:
  - yt - YouTube
  - gm - Gmail
  - gh - GitHub (with path support)
  - g - Google Search (with query support)
  
  Permissions
  - storage - to save your shortcuts locally and sync them via Chrome sync
  - tabs - to read the current tab's URL and title when using the quick-add popup. This data never leaves your device.
  
  What's New (v1.6.3)
  
  Smarter omnibox + a cleaner way to browse groups:
  
  - Collapsible group sections in the shortcuts table, each group gets its own section with a header and shortcut count, and can be collapsed or expanded
  - Select and delete shortcuts + added confirmation step for delete action
  - Filter dropdown to slice the shortcuts table by grouped or non-grouped shortcuts
  - Smarter slashing - best-match preview at the top while typing, press Enter on a partial keyword (like `y`) to jump straight to the best match
  - Scrollable shortcuts table - once you have a lot of shortcuts, the table now scrolls inside a fixed-height  (with sticky headers) instead of stretching the options page
  - Cleaner action icons (settings, edit, delete) across popup and options
  - Shortcut chip - keywords in the table now render as a `<keyword>` chip so the typeable command is obvious

  What's New (v1.7.0)
  
  A more polished options page and richer shortcut templates:
  
  - Theme switcher — System / Light / Dark. Persistent and synced across devices
  - Density toggle — switch between Compact (default) and Comfortable to control padding across the table, form, and buttons
  - Positional template variables — new `{var-1}`, `{var-2}`, … `{var-n}` placeholders mapped to whitespace-separated tokens after the keyword. Example: `https://github.com/{var-1}/compare/{var-2}...{var-3}` invoked as `go compare openai/codex main feature-x`
  - Other minor bug fixes and ui improvements
