Would really be great to move windows or tab groups between different profiles; Edge offers this. Sometimes you don't realize what profile you're in and you start doing stuff in your personal profile that doesn't fit there. With firefox right now there is no way to select and move any tabs, tab groups or windows to the profile that is best suited for those links.

It could be a privacy risk, though, because by directly moving a URL (and all its parameters) to another profile, it might be easy to link them together on the server side. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s definitely important to be aware of, since one of the main uses of profiles is precisely isolation for privacy and security.

One nice thing about Ventoy is that you can still use the USB stick as a regular drive for other files — it doesn’t interfere with the ISOs you can boot from

Very interesting, I’ll definitely give it a try!

Another approach I recently discovered is an old but beautiful Unix-style tool for renaming files: vidir - edit a directory in your text editor. It’s part of the moreutils suite [1].

You get the list of filenames in your editor – edit them as you like, save, exit, and it renames the files. It uses whatever editor is set in your $EDITOR env var, so it doesn’t have to be vi/vim.

You can also pipe in a list of files, e.g. `find . -type f | vidir -`, to edit just the files you want - and you can even change paths (add, rename, remove directories) in the editor to move files around easily.

To try it quickly on macOS: `brew install moreutils`

Certainly, the bulk of the functionality is provided by URLDispatcher:

Here's a cleaned up version of my config... I also mapped global cmd-shift-1/2/i to focus my profile and incognito windows (and create a window if none already existed):

Thanks a lot — that’s way more than I expected!

I use Hammerspoon for this and it's super configurable via Lua--open some URLs with Chrome profile 1, some with profile 2, some in incognito, open normal Spotify links with the Spotify app, normal Zoom links with Zoom (skip opening a tab that then opens the zoom:// link), etc.

For Google Drive links I open a picker that lets me choose from two chrome profiles and incognito.

Would you mind sharing some tips on how to set that up? A code snippet or a link to the relevant docs would be super helpful.

I love that it’s a command line tool — I’ll try it soon.

I use OpenIn for this [1] (it’s paid, but a one-time purchase at a very reasonable price). It works with URLs too, supports “browser profiles”, and lets you create logic using JavaScript (e.g., do X if the filename contains Y, or do Z if a modifier key is pressed).

It works really well and even has the ability to “fix” what external apps have changed. I plan to use this on new Macs to reconstruct my app associations and rules.

I do wish the rules were defined in plain text files — sometimes it’s hard to follow the logic through the UI and the way it handles things.

Another comment mentions Hammerspoon (which I used in the past — it was very nice). Maybe I can rebuild part of my current setup with it.

Can you save the full request details and full response details in one click as one file with this extension?

This is the feature I use the most.

037 · a year ago

Just tried. You can save the full response to a single file with one click, but it doesn’t include the original request.

I found an issue asking for the same feature: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient/issues/1311
