eg: typing “linux @l” should search “linux lemmy” and “beatles @mb” should search “beatles musicbrainz”,
where I define these shortcuts

    You can do almost exactly this with keyword bookmarks. The only change is that you need to put the “keyword” at the start of the URL. So @l linux rather than linux @l.

    Create a new bookmark with these settings:

    • Name: Whatever you want.
    • URL: The search query you want with the text replaced by %s. For example https://kagi.com/search?q=%s+site:https://lemm.ee.
    • Keyword: The tag you want. Such as @l.

    Now you can type @l foobar in the URL bar and it will go to https://kagi.com/search?q=foobar+site:https://lemm.ee. (Or whatever search engine you have configured.

    Keywords can also be used for non-search bookmarks and javascript bookmarklets which are very convenient.

    You could try system wide macros. If you type @l, macro deletes last 2 chars and types lemmy
