Quickly peek at your favorite web pages without breaking your flow.

Quickly peek at your favorite web pages without breaking your flow.

Peek lets you choose 10 web pages to open with a keyboard shortcut, without opening a new tab, and able to close with the `escape` key.

I use this for:

* Translating text
* See my Github notifications
* Calendar schedule
* Check email periodically instead of having it open all the time
* Stock or cryptocurrency prices
* Slack instances I don't want loaded all the time
* Check the weather

## Usage

* Create up to 10 bookmarks with "peek#" plus the number 0-9 in the title. Eg "My favorite website peek#1".

* Use the keyboard shortcut `alt+shift` plus the number you put in the bookmark title to peek at that URL.

* A new minimal window will open with your chosen URL loaded.

* Hit the `escape` key to close the window.

(If no bookmark is configured for an index, Peek will just load about:home.)

## TODO

* ESC doesn't work sometimes

* test on windows/linux

* fix window to have a maximum size

* add feature to long-press links to peek (in pb mode?)
