Keyword Bookmarks

Keyword Bookmarks

Description

A bookmarker that also handles keywords, like in vimperator with the -k switch. This makes browsing to your favorite website so much faster. You can map http://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php?action=show_24h to arch so when you type “g arch”, it loads the recent posts page on the arch forums.

Installation

This has to go in your uzbl/config

set kwbm = @scripts_dir/keyword_bookmarks.py
@cbind  a<add:>_  = @kwbm add %s
@cbind  g<get:>_  = @kwbm get %s
@cbind  t<tab:>_  = @kwbm tab %s
@cbind  o<open:>_  = @kwbm open %s

Quick Start

When the scripts gets a add, it adds a bookmark and when it sees a get, it navigates to the bookmark. Both times you have to supply a keyword, either for looking up or for adding.

The t and o first look if the entered string is a keyword, if it is, it opens it. If it isn't it checks if it could be a url, if it is, it opens it else it googles the arguments.

When you add a bookmark a page containing all bookmarks gets created. The bookmarks shortcut opens that page. You can customize it using css, $XDG_DATA_HOME/uzbl/bookmarks.css
