bookmarks-curses

bookmarks-curses is a bookmark manager as a curses frontend to SQLite database.

Editing a record is done with Vim, using a temporary file located in /dev/shm. To launch a URL, xdg-open is used, while copying to the clipboard is handled by xsel. To display a URL as a QR code in the terminal, the qrencode command is used.

If you’d like to store your bookmarks file in an encrypted directory, you can create one using the command “cryfs -o noatime dir mountpoint” (cryfs) and place your file in mountpoint/.

The current hotkeys are:
  • h: help screen

  • q, Esc: Quit the program

  • j, Down: Move selection down

  • k, Up: Move selection up

  • PgUp: Page up

  • PgDown: Page down

  • g, Home: Move to first item

  • G, End: Move to last item

  • Alt-{m,c,t,u}: Sort by modtime, created, title, URL

  • Delete: Delete current record

  • Insert: Insert record

  • e: Edit current record

  • L: Launch URL

  • I: Import html (Diigo export Chrome)

  • s: Search records

  • D: Show/hide deleted records

  • U: Show URL as QR-code

  • Ctrl-L: Copy URL to clipboard
