Quix is a customizable command driven bookmarklet. It is basically a mixture of Ubiquity and Cybersearch.
Click Tools > Web Services > Quix to open a prompt that accepts commands. A good start is to use the help command to open a website that displays the preconfigured commands. But that is not all; you can extend it using your own custom commands file.

Since it is a bookmarklet you can add it to your bookmarks toolbar or to the Hotlinks; JS has to be enabled too.
