Quick access shortcut for Perplexity that works well with Arc
Hey everyone,
I love using Perplexity, but I found myself constantly typing "perplexity.ai" into my search bar, which got annoying fast. I didn't want to use extensions that completely replace the search bar with Perplexity because I still use Google often, and as an Arc user, those extensions weren't really an option in the first place.
So, I made my own extension Perplexity Shortcut
What it does:
- Press Alt+Q (or Option+Q on Mac) on any webpage to open a Perplexity search box (You can set it to whatever you want)
- Right-click and select "Search Perplexity for [selected text]" to search directly
It doesn't replace your default search and you can quickly access it from any webpage and open a new thread in a separate tab. And it works well with browsers such as Arc.
Where to get it:
- Chrome Web Store: Perplexity Shortcut
- GitHub Repo: Perplexity_Shortcut
