The code looks even better. Here's some more additions and some
subtractions.
* I didn't like the "tag" business with the bmarks. It complicates with
little payoff.
* You never in fact had entries being written to history. I store both
smart prefix entries, e.g., "g foobar foo" and ordinary entries e.g.
"http://www.foobar.org";
* I still need to re-implement the code to verify that the entered url in
fact resolved before storing that entry into the history file. That's in
the old script.
* I have a history to the find as well.
================ surf.sh ==============================================

# v1.1
# AUTHORS: wart_ (Peter John Hartman), pancake, nibbles
# v1.0
# did stuff
# v1.1
# * added find history
# * removed the tags (useless, right?)
# * actually store stuff in history (and not only when you bookmark)
# * added an "info" option for debugging maybe other reasons.
# * make sure you don't add stuff twice check.

nibble and me cleaned up a bit more my refactored script and
now supports youtube and does not depends on awk, the code
is now much cleaner and easy to ready/modify.
The last script depends on dmenu from mercurial, so it uses
-e $xid to embed.
http://surf.suckless.org/files/bmarks
enjoy :)
btw nibble will probably change the ^G to run $EDITOR to
edit the url. any other idea? feedback?

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.
