Copy it to *$HOME/.config/boosta/bookmarks* to use it with boosta. 27 | 28 | Copy the *config.sample* file to *$HOME/.config/boosta/config* and customize it as you like. 29 | 30 | Run *boosta*, then you can switch between the following modes: 31 | 32 | * `Alt+o` **open bookmark** (default mode) 33 | * start to type a tag, a title or an url and press `Enter` when you found the bookmark to open. 34 | * `Alt+n` **add bookmark** 35 | * You need to provide tag(s), title and url for a new bookmark. 36 | * For each of tags, title and url, you can also select from the existing ones. 37 | * The title of the previous window (probably the browser window) is inserted as the default value for the title. 38 | * You might want to copy the url to the clipboard before running boosta and insert it then with `Shift+Insert`. 39 | * Press `Ctrl+Enter` to use the entered text and not the selected entry as input. 40 | * `Alt+d` **delete bookmark** 41 | * start to type a tag, a title or an url and press `Enter` when you found the bookmark to delete. 42 | * Confirm the deletion of the selected bookmark by selecting `[Y]es` and pressing `Enter`. 43 | 44 | ### License 45 | 46 | This software is released under the terms of the 47 | GNU General Public License v2: 48 | 49 | [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt) 50 | 51 | ### TODO 52 | - change delimiter 53 | - edit bookmark 54 | - generate a html file of the bookmarks 55 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /boosta: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | #!/bin/bash 2 | 3 | # boosta: easy bookmark management 4 | 5 | # variables 6 | USAGE="Boosta keys: Alt+o: open bookmark | Alt+n: add bookmark | Alt+d: delete bookmark" 7 | KEYS="-kb-custom-1 Alt+o -kb-custom-2 Alt+n -kb-custom-3 Alt+d" 8 | 9 | # function definitions 10 | ###################### 11 | function openBookmark() 12 | { 13 | output=$(cat $BOOKMARKS | $LAUNCHER Bookmarks: -mesg "$USAGE" $KEYS) 14 | retval=$?
