About Shortcut to URL

Shortcut to URL is a lightweight Chrome extension for faster browsing with keyboard shortcuts and smart URL redirection. Open your shortcuts with Cmd+. (Mac) or Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux), then press a single key to jump to any saved site. You can also create redirect rules so matching URLs are automatically sent to the correct destination. HOW IT WORKS 1. Press Cmd+. (Mac) or Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux) to open the popup. 2. Press a configured key (like "g" for Gmail) to open that site instantly. 3. Add redirect rules in Settings to auto-redirect matching URLs. 4. Choose match type: Contains, Wildcard, or Regex. 5. Enable/disable rules anytime without deleting them. FEATURES - Lightning-fast navigation with two keystrokes - Redirect utility for repetitive URLs (SSO pages, old routes, staging/prod links) - Flexible matching: Contains, Wildcard, Regex - Toggle redirect rules on/off with one click - Loop protection to prevent redirect cycles - Clean minimal UI with light/dark themes - Syncs shortcuts and redirect rules via Chrome Sync - Works on Chrome and Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc, etc.) PRIVACY Your shortcuts and redirect rules are stored in Chrome storage (sync/local). No external servers, no tracking, no ads.
