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.

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
URL description

The bookmarks can be converted from the web browser formats using netscape-bookmark-converter at
