Emacs + the anti-mac interface, reinvented.
That's what Ubiquity is. And I'm really liking this stuff. The possibility of downloading remote scripts -- with the usual proper warnings to avoid something bad happening -- is what I liked more.

Already have a nifty command embedded:

CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
  name: "kill-buffer",
  preview: "Kills the current buffer",
  execute: function() {
    window.close();
  }
})


Also, bound its hotkey to "Meta-X" (Alt-X for the peecee weenies), so I feel like working with emacs right away.

If you read the referred papers on their site, you can see it's exactly the point.

The cool thing is, due its "script site subscription" model, I'm already doing my internal-app-related bindings, so repetitive (or well-hidden under hierarchical menus) tasks can be easily accessed via mnemonics or plain commands.

ok, so it's about mashups meeting cli meeting macros... add a decent language recognition, and we can part the sea!

it's cool the way they work arounded javascript security issues... but it's safe to use it and browse my bank account same time? I fear some tranfer-all-funds xss script attack with this enabled...

The language recognition can be done via AJAX. No, really.

Security-wise, it's as secure as your future javascript subscriptions. Personally, I don't really trust this whole "oh, we'll build a database of trusted sources". I'm really thinking this could help, though, with internal or "domain-specific" applications. Like the "big guys" (Google, Yahoo) releasing specific, ready-to-use APIs for this.

Could be far worse:

- ActiveWeb
- WebX 3.0
- WebLive! 3.0
- Web "Fucking Armadillo" 8.04
