Instant URL Update

Hey Bubblers,

I think there must be a plugin for this, but I’m looking for a plugin that’s similar to AirDev’s Instant Text in that whatever you put in an input instantly updates, but instead of it showing on a text element or such I’m looking for a plugin that lets me enter whatever I want, but then the URL of my page instantly updates rather than using the Bubble’s “input changed” feature to update the parameters in my URL.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Johnny

Yes… it is not that fast. But I don’t know other way…

What you can try is to use the new experimental plugin, from Bubble, to map the “key press” event and run a workflow after it (only if you input is focused…). It could be faster…

[New plugin] Mouse & Keyboard Interactions (Highly experimental!)

We like to think about what the frontiers are with Bubble, and to try pushing on them a bit. To that end, we’re releasing a highly experimental feature today: the Mouse & Keyboard Interactions plugin. This plugin gives you a suite of new tools to create more customized keyboard and m…

And in your workflow, you could try to use javascript to change the URL:
