I’ve been tinkering around with Quix, a ’super’ bookmarklet that can easily replace several Firefox addins and overall reduce your dependency on your mouse.
Installing Quix is a simple matter of visiting the Quix site and dragging the bookmarklet to your toolbar. Since I didn’t want to click on the bookmarklet to activate I used Firefox’s keyword to it:
Firefox Keyword Shortcut
So now I can do a ALT+D to take me to the address bar and type qq+Enter to pull up the Quix dialog.

There are quite a few commands and shortcuts available on the Quix site (enter ‘Help’ in the Quix dialog to get a complete list).
While I have a few shortcuts like this setup in Find and Run Robot (my launcher) having this bookmarklet running inside the browser adds a lot more power to what can be done.
I’ll probably only use a small percentage of these but even then I can already see it being a timesaver.
