Bolton's Talon Settings

This is a folder I created to house my Talon settings. It is meant to live in the user talon folder, e.g.:

.talon
|- user
  |- bolton-talon
  |- community
  |- cursorless-settings
  |- cursorless-talon
  |- rango-talon

My Settings Philosophy

I am a relatively new talon user, and I am finding that the number of builtin commands in community is too few for my tastes. Here is what I would like to have, in a perfect world (in the form of a checklist):

• The websites.csv website.talon-list file of community would be greatly expanded.
  • This should contain basically any top-1000 SFW english-language website which is referred to by:
    • a word,
    • a homophone of a word,
    • or a concatentation of words
  • It should also contain popular subdomains/directory of sites
    • e.g. https://news.google.com/ should be present as "Google News"
  • Websites for software projects should be available as well:
    • many of the top-100-by-stars GitHub repos should exist as "{word or phrase} GitHub"
    • Package manager sites should be present
      • top pypi packages should exist as "python {word or phrase}" (linking to the site when possible, not the pypi page)
      • top cargo packages as "cargo {word or phrase}"
      • etc.
  • Really, rather than having websites.csv file at all, whenever a website is expected, it should just return the top search engine result queried on the spoken phrase.
• Popular websites with keyboard shortcuts
  • YouTube
    • All the commands that are displayed on by typing "?" should have voice commands.
    • "Go to time xxx"
  • GitHub
  • Zulip
• More app specific commands
  • Basically any menu bar item for a popular macOS app should be present
    • With the name of the command in the bar matching the spoken command
    • See AXKit for how to do this
• There should more often be multiple phrases for the same command
  • Instead of confusion over word order of "tab new"/"new tab" the word order should appear both ways.
  • Although if only one can exist, I would prefer the more common word order.
    • e.g. "new tab" over "tab new".
    • Which is not how it seems to be by default.
