Picker
Picker is a visual prompt that asks which browser you want to open a link in specifically, instead of matching a rule. It's invoked in the following situations.
It can be invoked either manually or automatically, or both. To set this behavior, invoke the "Picker" menu from the main window:
Manual invocation
For manual invocation, one of the following key combinations can be used, if configured.
Ctrl+Shift+ left mouse click.Ctrl+Alt+ left mouse click.Alt+Shift+ left mouse click.CAPS LOCKSis on when clicking.
Automatic invocation
For automatic invocation, picker will be displayed in the following situations:
Always - picker will always be displayed, regardless of any rules configured.
On conflict - picker will be displayed if there are multiple rules that match the URL.
On no rule - picker will be displayed if there are no rules that match the URL.
Making a choice
The picker interface is dead simple - it display address bar and the list of browsers you can choose from:
If a browser has multiple profiles, the picker window will display a list of profiles as well:
Keyboard navigation
You can dismiss the picker dialog after it has opened by pressing Esc. This will only work when you haven't selected a browser or profile yet.
In addition to that, you can select the first 9 browsers and 9 profiles using the keyboard. For instance, pressing 1 will select the first browser, pressing 2 will select the second browser, and so on. The same applies to profiles. For instance, to select the second profile or the third browser, presss 3 2.
If you have selected a browser with multiple profiles, but then changed your mind, you can press Esc to go back to the browser selection and choose another browser. Pressing Esc Esc will close the picker dialog.
Other customisations
The top of the Picker menu has more customisation options that are worth mentioning:
- Close on focus loss
If enabled, the picker dialog will close when it loses focus. This is useful if you want to quickly switch to another window without having to close the picker dialog manually. This essentially cancels picker dialog if you switch to another window.
- Always on top
If enabled, the picker dialog will always be on top of other windows, regardless which application is active. This is useful if some of your applications prevent Picker from being on top.
