Facebook browser extension for the power users

Facebook On Steroids

I love how Reddit Enhancement Suite bring a whole new level of customizability, flexibility and shortcuts to Reddit. I haven't been able to find anything like that for Facebook, so this is my attempt to do something similar for facebook. For now it's Chrome extension, I might do a Firefox port in the future if the project goes as expected.

Features

Commands Bar (CMDBar)

The Commands Bar, CMDBar for short, is a quick way to access different parts of facebook, navigate to pages/groups/friends, execute FOS commands and more.

The CMDBar uses a mode system to access different functionalities. Each mode has a symbol assigned to it, to access one mode: the first character you type into the CMDBar is the character assigned to that mode.

Modes:

Trigger character	Name	Description
` (back tick)	Navigation	Shortcuts to different pages and parts on facebook
!	Command	List of FOS commands
@	Profile	List of all of your friends
#	Hashtag	Search for posts using a given hashtag
$	Search	Shortcut to facebook's search
?	Help	Show CMDBar help
