DESCRIPTION Sets personal commands and memos in YubNub (aliases). SYNTAX !set [personal command name] [url] (sets a personal command in YubNub (aliases)) !set [memo name] [block of text] (sets a memo in YubNub (aliases)) WHAT IS YUBNUB (ALIASES)? YubNub (aliases) is an extension for YubNub allowing you to create your own commands, shortcuts, memos, etc. using a YubNub-based cookies system. HOW DO I USE YUBNUB (ALIASES)? YubNub (aliases) uses several YubNub commands to operate properly.In order to set a personal command, such as a bookmark command use the !set command as follows. !set [personal command name] [command url] You can use !s just as you would %s in a YubNub command in a YubNub (aliases) command, however, piping is currently not available in personal commands. Here are some examples of the !set command: !set fs http://flickr.com/photos/tags/!s/ (Sets YubNub personal command "fs" to perform a flickr image search.) !set p http://www.yourhomepage.com/ (Sets YubNub personal command "p" to direct you to your home page.) You can also create a memo by setting a variable with a block of text, as follows: !set reminder Pick up Sarah from Emily's party at 9:00. (Sets memo "reminder" in YubNub (aliases)) If your personal command URL does not have either "http://" or "https://" (for secure websites) in front of it, it is automatically considered a memo by YubNub (aliases). When trying to create or use any command for the first time you will be prompted to create an account. Cookies must be enabled in order for YubNub (aliases) to function properly. You will not be prompted your username and password again unless your cookie expires or is deleted. For setting command aliases, use the !seta command as follows: !seta [alias name] [yubnub command] You can use !s when setting an alias as well. Here are some simple alias examples: !seta w wiki !s (sets YubNub (aliases) command "w" as a wikipedia search) !seta pim gim site:putfile.com !s (sets YubNub (aliases) command "pim" to show images on putfile.com) !seta local gloc -what !s -where 90210 (sets YubNub (aliases) command "local" as a google local search with a pre-defined area, in this case Beverly Hills, CA) Piping is available in command aliases using "[" and "]", as follows: !seta agim gim [spllw !s] (sets YubNub (aliases) command "gima" as an auto-spelling-correct image search) !seta mimg splith [url gim !s] [url yim !s] [url flk !s] (sets YubNub (aliases) command "mimg" as a master image search, searching google images, yahoo images, and flickr images with the same query) After setting a command, you use the alias identifier (!) in order to call a command. Use the identifier as follows: ! [alias name] [parameters, if any] For example, to use the "mimg" command above, you would type: ! mimg cars (performs a "master image search" on "cars") If your command is set for use as a memo, YubNub (aliases) will call it as such. To view all of your personal commands and command aliases, use the !ls command, just as you would the ls command in YubNub: !ls [search parameters if desired] If no search parameters are given, YubNub (aliases) will return every alias you have created. Command !mls will perform exactly the same as !ls, but limits your results to memos only. !mls [search parameters if desired] Finally, to remove a set alias or personal command, use the !unset command as follows: !unset [alias/personal command name] Or you can use the "Unset" link beside the command in your alias list (!ls).
