Cookie Thinger

Jancy’s cookie thinger lets you do “things” with cookies and tabs. Some things you can currently do are:

  • delete all or specific cookies in a tab
  • copy all or specific cookies from one tab to other tabs

The cookie-thinger.txt file tells Jancy what actions should be performed when cookie thinger groups are ran.

[group 1]
copy 1 https://www.google.com AEC

[group 2]
del https://www.ticketmaster.com _GRECAPTCHA
  • On Windows the cookie thinger text file is located at %appdata%\Jancy\cookie-thinger.txt
  • On MacOS the cookie thinger text file is locatd at ~/Library/Application Support/Jancy/cookie-thinger.txt

To edit the cookie-thinger.txt file you can run the Edit cookie-thinger.txt command from the command palette. To have Jancy read the cookie-thinger.txt file you can run the Read cookie-thinger.txt from the command palette.

Jancy will automatically re-read the cookie-thinger.txt file after you save it.

Action Groups

The cookie thinger has 10 programmable action groups that let you specify the actions that will be run when a specific group is ran. To define an action group in the cookie-thinger.txt file the format is:

[group <id>]

where <id> is a value between 1 and 5 followed by the actions to run for that group.

To run a cookie thinger group there are the following commands that are accessible from the command palette:

  • Run cookie thinger group 1 in all selected tabs
  • Run cookie thinger group 1 in all selected tabs (all windows)

  • Set cookie thinger tab 1

  • Focus cookie thinger tab 4
  • Focus cookie thinger tab 5

Some actions require the user to designate a cookie-thinger-list (e.g. the lclear, ladd, and lcopy actions). Generally speaking this means the action requires a list of cookies to operate on. There are 10 lists available for use.

The first 5 lists are temporary and go away after the application exits. They can be specified as:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

The last 5 lists are persistent and retain their contents through application restarts. They can be specified as:
