Search doesn't seem to find anything I'd expect from open tabs, either by tab title or content. Is it possible that it's still indexing, @manak_ ? I did restart the browser. The options menu item is also grayed out.

@joostschuur Hey Joost, that's actually really odd. Are you sure you began your search query with 't' to search through open tabs? A more detailed help cheatsheet is available via the 'help' command.

@manak_ It didn't occur to me I had to prefix it with t. Didn't notice that as part of any onboarding and it wasn't intuitive at all. As a spotlight user, I've built up muscle memory thinking I can just start typing away without a special prefix. It does work when I start with t though. Really wish it wouldn't require that though. I'll probably run into this problem over and over again.

@joostschuur Hmm you're right, the prefix is abit unnatural as one expects results when they start typing. I am going to explore my options about how to solve this, but most likely it's going to involve getting only 1 or 2 searchers working when there's no prefix like maybe bookmarks and open tabs?

The "sort all tabs by URL" is not working and there's a weird glitch after first launch it: http://imgur.com/a/GZhmZ

@chang2301 Hmm.. that's an odd glitch... may i know the url of the page on which you attempted to launch thundertick and ended up with that result?

@manak_ Just on this page!! LOL I think the reason is because this product page on Product Hunt is a "popup" and your product has some problem working on popup?

@z3ux There's a fix for this already in development, soon you'll be able to bind the hotkey to any key combination on your keyboard! It won't only be bound to the backtick key.

@z3ux @ch_mandel Thundertick has been updated to v1.5.0! You can now set a custom hotkey for launching thundertick by going into it's chrome options page. You can access the settings page by right clicking on the thundertick icon in your chrome toolbar and clicking the `options` button! This should resolve the problems people, with alternate keyboard layouts, have been facing.

Seems to have merit in many ways. But usage and privacy ?

@avadhbsd The extension runs entirely on your computer and does not send any data about your searches in the extension to anywhere external. The source code is available if anyone would like to take a look at it - https://github.com/thundertick/t...

@manak_ Is it possible for you to create your own commands?

@ishu3101 Not yet but it's a work in progress! When it is finished it will be possible to have full fledged webstore extensions that will plugin their results into thundertick! See: https://github.com/thundertick/t...
