  1. Bug: Choosy UI keeps popping up when I click on links?

    I'm not sure if this has already been reported or not -- for me on both OS X Catalina (10.15.5 (19F101)) and the previous version, when I click on links intermittently the Choosy UI will pop up and then disappear but remain open, rather than the link opening. It's pretty annoying! Is there something I might have configured wrong?

  2. context menu missing from Firefox extension version 2.0.1

    Was glad to see the new Firefox extension update since it hadn't been working before, but now I don't see the Open with Choosy menu option anywhere in the context menu when I right click on a link. Did that break in this version bump or am I doing something wrong?

    I’m getting reports that this is still an issue after reinstalling, so I’m re-opening the issue.

  4. Choosy 2.1 not working on macOS Mojave 10.4.6

    I love the idea of Choosy - but I can't quite get it to fully work :(

    What I'd like to happen is when I click on a link in Safari, the link gets opened directly in Firefox instead of as a new tab in Safari. The documentation suggests this is easy to accomplish, but no combination of settings that I've tried have worked (for any combination of browsers and rules). I've enabled the "Enable Choosy for links" option, and tried various flavors of rules, but nothing behaves differently.

    It's worth noting that other core features of Choosy are working for me:
    - Choosy shows up in the context menu (when I right click on links in the browser)
    - The Safari and Firefox browser extensions seem to work properly

    Here are the version of software I'm using:

    Choosy 2.1
    MacOS 10.14.6
    Safari 13.1.1
    Firefox 68.6.1esr
    Chrome 83.0

    Also note that I'm using my work computer, so maybe there are certain permissions which Choosy needs which have been disabled?

    Any advice is appreciated!

  5. Make URL field wider in rule definition window

    When I define/edit a rule, for example "Web address" "matches this regular expression", input field for that URL expression is very narrow (from https?://gitlab.com/timbercode(/.*)? I see only https?://git).

    Even if I make window wider, input field is still narrow.

  6. Add support for Coherence X

    Coherence X - https://www.bzgapps.com/coherence is an app that allows keeping environments isolated from each other.

    Though Choosy detects the browser-based applications Coherence X creates and allows to add them to the list of browsers, link-opening either via tabbing in the popover or via pre-defined rules does not work.

    Any plans to support Coherence X?

    Thanks!

  7. not

    It would be nice to negate a custom rule, e.g.

    If web address does NOT begins with... to avoid relying on regex for simple use cases.

  8. Bug: Since upgrading to MacOS 10.15.4 (19E266), Choosy displays available browsers rather than opening the browser specified in rules.

    Since upgrading to MacOS 10.15.4 (19E266), Choosy displays available browsers when clicking on a link, rather than opening the preferred browser specified in rules. These rules used to work just prior to upgrade.

  9. Allow Apple News links to open in a browser instead of the Apple News app

    When clicking on an Apple News link in an OSX app such as Mail.app, it would be good if Choosy could intercept that link and open it in a browser instead of the Apple News app. While all Apple News links seem to start with https://apple.news/ a Choosy rule doesn't catch them as there seems to be some OS-level URL capture happening.

  10. open link in current display for running browsers

    when I click a link in slack that is open on display2 (I have it set to prompt) and click a new browser, it opens on display2. but if I click an already running browser (chrome) it seems to always open the webpage on display1 (main display w/ dock) regardless of if the last active browser window was on display2. This causes me to have to click the link then having to drag the page from display1 to display2 every time. (licensed user v2.1, mojave 10.14.6, chrome+firefox+safari)

  12. Modifier key selection appears to be broken in Catalina

    Attempting to set a custom modifier key and am unable to set it. This is using 2.1 on Catalina. Looks like it is keeping a default of ⌘-shift but you cannot change it.

  13. Modifier to open in new window

    Sometimes I'd like to open a link in a new browser window. If I'm inside a browser I can hold down (generally) shift when I click the link, and a new window will be opened. However, Choosy doesn't seem to expose a way to do this.

    I think this can be implemented without interfering with the existing modifiers feature, by having the behavior change occur once the popup is already open. Because not all browsers would support this, it could probably be signposted by changing the label on supported-browsers to e.g. "Firefox (new window)" once the modifier is pressed.

    Firefox and Chrome both require a command line parameter to trigger this behavior: --new-window

    I'm not certain how to do this with Safari.

  15. Please add system requirements to Choosy Website

    I have purchased Choosy some time ago and now needed to fix my macbook by erasing and installing everything from scratch. So I downloaded Choosy again, but cannot open it. Obviously my macosx is not supported (10.13)

  17. Paste link into new Terminal

    It would be great if Choosy could open a Terminal window (or tab) and paste the link into that. I'm a developer, and it's a thing I do often manually.

  18. Browser extension closes tab when opening in another browser

    The Safari extension lets me open a menu of browsers and click one to open that tab in that browser.

    I'd like to be able to option-click to also close that tab in the current browser. (An option to make this the default would also be nice.)

  19. Open in background

    If open-in-background can be made to work reliably, it would be a great additional option for Advanced rules.

  20. Support automatically sending pages to other browsers

    For example, if I open a page in one browser that should be opened in another browser, have it automatically send it to the other browser. For instance, if I type it in or if I copy a url into the url bar and press enter
