There's a plugin for Firefox called Copy All URLs, which lets you copy all the titles and URLS of your current tabs to the clipboard. You can get it from http://plasser.net/copyallurls/ You can specify the markup used for each line; I have '[[$url][$title]]' so I get a list of org links. After copying the url list you can then either just paste your it into an org buffer, or use a remember template which includes clipboard contents. > Would be nice to get fancier by allowing annotations (for > use by fireforg?).

Did you see my post to the list regarding Firefox keybindings? I have no idea if org-protocol works with Firefox on the Mac though. > P.S.

I can give you a solution for w3m: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun ahkt-w3m-tabs-to-org () (interactive) (let (tabs) (dolist (buf (buffer-list)) (with-current-buffer buf (if (and (eq major-mode 'w3m-mode)) (push (org-make-link-string w3m-current-url w3m-current-title) tabs)))) (kill-new (mapconcat 'identity tabs "\n")))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- James -- |-<James TD Smith>-<email/ahktenz...@mohorovi.cc>-| _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
