Creating A Dmenu Script For Web Bookmarks And History DistroTube In recent weeks, I've spent a lot more time scripting than I typically do. I keep finding problems that I want to solve, and the best way to solve them is with some shell scripting and dmenu. The latest problem I wanted to solve? I wanted to be able to search my browser bookmarks, quickmarks and history from dmenu. - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dmscripts

Hey DT (Don't know where to ask but will be glad if you answered this in your next Hey DT or in reply)
I have heard you telling OS/browser as 'free in freedom' example GNU GUIX but we are restricted in some stuff we can't download any web browser or other utility which is not 100% free. Another example is librewolf... We are not free to do many stuff that other utility can give us

Here's a tip: In your qutebrowser config.py if you read in your Search Enginges from a text file instead of defining them inline in the python dictionary, you can then read that text file from your script to have the Search Engines appear in your menu just like they do in qutebrowser. I've done this and it's pretty quick and easy.

Hey DT! Thanks for your work and for the great ideas you give me with your videos!
Is there a chance to get that script running with the vivaldi browser or chromium? That would be really nice and helpful!

reply

There are two scripts which provide simmilar functionality in the qutebrowser repository. qutedmenu and dmenu_qutebrowser. You will also find many more seems people like to reinvent the wheel with dmenu scripts.

This is DEFINITELY noted. Also, i got a test build of my distro (Terminal version) working, so as soon as install Xorg, St and (possibly) DWM, i will see if i can do something like this. Thanks again!

Neat. But: We are still waiting for a plausible prove, that you had been at least slightly intoxicated, when doing that recent short vid about linking _bin/sh_ to _fish_ ;-)

you are aware of debians -buku - a powerful command-line bookmark manager- ?
maybe it is useful for you as it covers a few browsers.

Hi. Nice and useful video. Is it possible to grab/open filtered entries in browser? Like --bind 'ctrl-a:select-all+accept' for fzf.

I use a little wrapper around dmenu_run which logs anything I run via it, along with a timestamp. I called it, dmenu_run_log. -
