   7 When the user enters your extension's
   8 keyword, the user starts
   9 interacting solely with your extension.
  10 Each keystroke is sent to your
  11 extension, and you can provide suggestions
  12 in response.
  13 </p>
  14
  15 <p>
  16 The suggestions can be richly formatted
  17 in a variety of ways.
  18
  19 When the user accepts
  20 a suggestion, your extension is notified
  21 and can take action.

  27 You must include an <code>omnibox</code> <code>keyword</code> field
  28 in the <a href="manifest">manifest</a>
  29 to use the omnibox API.
  30 You should also
  31 specify a 16x16-pixel icon, which will be
  32 displayed in the address bar when suggesting that users
  33 enter keyword mode.

  37 For example:
  38 </p>
  39
  40 <pre data-filename="manifest.json">
  41 {
  42   "name": "Aaron's omnibox extension",
  43   "version": "1.0",
  44   <b>"omnibox": { "keyword" : "aaron" },</b>
  45   <b>"icons": {</b>
  46     <b>"16": "16-full-color.png"</b>
  47   <b>},</b>
  48   "background": {
  49     "persistent": false,
  50     "scripts": ["background.js"]
  51   }
  52 }
  53 </pre>
  54
  55 <p class="note">
  56 <strong>Note:</strong>
  57 Chrome automatically creates a grayscale version of
  58 your 16x16-pixel icon. You should provide
  59 a full-color version so that it can also be
  60 used in other situations that require color.
  61 For example, the <a href="contextMenus"
  62 >context menus API</a> also uses a 16x16-pixel
  63 icon, but it is displayed in color.
