Conceptually looks nice, but the script uses some bashisms and linuxsms and depends on urlencode.sh which is not distributed with the script. it also has a race condition in the history file on multiuser environments and it is possible to steal the history information because of the cp hack: (while : ; chmod 000 /tmp/history* ; done)
I think I can simplify it a bit and fix these issues: http://lolcathost.org/b/surf.sh Some functionalities has changed and some other has been added. actually it supports: - bookmarking with tags ^b - sorted by bookmark date - autocompletion of bookmarked uris with ^g - open uri without autocomplete ^G - fix search keybinding in spanish keyboard ^f (can this be added in mainstream?) - uri handlers: - google (g food) - wikipedia (w foo bar) - del.icio.us (d ) - tinyurl (t ) - open url matching tags (h web editor) it can be improved, but at least it works with no dependencies or linuxisms. Let me know if you find any issue. --pancake On Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:14:26 -0400 (EDT) Peter John Hartman <peterjohnhart...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > So, I've cobbled together the attached shell script to do most of what I > want to do with surf, including history, smart prefixes, and bookmarks. > The upshot is that one doesn't need the history patch and the searchengines > patch. > > I'd appreciate comments on this, esp.\ with respect to how I can figure > out what the TITLE value is of a new uri.
