How to keep track of thousands of bookmarks with a simple tool and your own tags.
Copy or add a bookmark:
dmenu fuzzy search dialogue for all your bookmarks. Simple text format.
github.com/equwal/sbm
It needs to be made with make and the config file should be edited too. More docs soon, although it is a simple program. Details in the source.

Grand Generalized Dmenu Tagger coming soon to stores near you.
Scripts
- bm -- search & copy, add, or edit/plumb a bookmark (edit/plumb not implemented yet).
Install
Requirements: xclip, dmenu, make
- Export the $BOOKMARKS variable containing the location of the
bookmarks. I like to use ~/.local/share/sbm to store my config.
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/sbm/
~/.bashrc
export BOOKMARKS="~/.local/share/sbm/bookmarks" - define your tag choices in USERTAGS and export that too. The file syntax is:
<tag><space><description><newline>
See the included usertags file for an example.
~/.bashrc
export USERTAGS="~/.local/share/sbm/usertags" - make install
Usage
Execute
search-term is an extended regex for grep.
Bookmark lines are space separated values
