keynav shell command examples

Press 'f' when keynav is active and instantly jump to my firefox window.
# in .keynavrc
f sh "activate-firefox.sh", end
Now, in activate-firefox.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# activate-firefox.sh
xdotool windowactivate $(xdotool search -title -- '- Mozilla Firefox')
Extend that and press 'g' to jump to gmail, assuming that tab is open. (Requires my firefox tabsearch plugin)
# in .keynavrc
g sh "activate-gmail.sh"
Now, in activate-gmail.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# activate-gmail.sh

./activate-firefox.sh
xdotool key ctrl+apostrophe
xdotool type gmail
xdotool key Return
