DOMercury Demonstration Videos
Everyone likes watching videos. In this section I will post "how to" and demonstration
videos for DOMercury. The intent is for them to be short videos about a specific
topic, which will allow you to view video on the specific topics you are interested
in. They will range from general usage of DOMercury to tweaking options for
desired performance, to little known features which you may find convenient.
My goal is that they are also of improved content and easy to watch.
Until all the new videos are up and made, links to the Old Videos
will still be
provided.
Below is the start to the new DOMercury video series.
More videos are to come...
Windows Desktop Search
The Windows Desktop Search Plugin interfaces Windows Desktop Search with
DOMercury. Just press the right arrow while selecting any text item to pull WDS
Search results for that keyword right into DOMercury. In DOMercury 2.6 and
later, you can force any item to a text item by pressing Ctrl + T.
Clipboard Plugin BETA
The Clipboard Plugin keeps a history of text copied to the clipboard. You
can then use the Clipboard Plugin to select a clip from the history and make it
the current clip.
iTunes Plugin BETA
The iTunes Plugin allows you to control iTunes and browse your library
without leaving your application to switch to the iTunes application. It is very
helpful for playing, pausing, or moving tracks quickly
Todoist
See the Todoist Plugin in action and keep yourself organized
Voo2do
Todoist? Voo2do? If you can't decide, don't worry, we got 'em both!

File Browsing and Sub Indexes
An (extremely) brief description of sub indexes, followed by how
to navigate the file system in DOMercury. For more information see the
Sub Index Documentation.
Adding Items to the index
This video shows you how to add the contents of folders to DOMercury's
main index, using the FolderIndexor Plugin. You can even add the folder itself
as an item. For more information see the Plugins Options
Documentation
File Sensing Demonstration
DOMercury can sense files that are selected in Windows Explorer.
This video gives you a demonstration and shows you some things you can do with them.
For more information see the Item Pane Documentation
Searching The Web
See how to search Google, Wikipedia, IMDB,
directly from DOMercury.
This video also shows you how to add your own specific website searches directly
into DOMercury. For more information see the Creating
Aliases Documentation
Managing System Windows
DOMercury can manipulate System Windows (open programs, web browsers,
anything you can see on your taskbar). This video shows a demonstration of
DOMercury minimizing, maximizing, and closing various windows. For more information,
see the Common Items Documentation
Old Videos
Below are the old videos I had up before I started making the new video series. While the new ones are mostly silent, these old videos had some sound. I had
a cold while recording these, and the audio quality isn't very good, but if you
prefer videos with voice narration I am leaving them available to you.
Note: I make reference to using ALT + Right arrow to jump into sub indexes.
This has since been changed so you only need to use the right arrow.
