buku-fzf allows you to filter "buku" bookmarks on fzf and open them in browsers of your choice.

Because it uses fzf on a terminal emulator, it can efficiently filter bookmarks.

I migrated all bookmarks from web browsers to buku and open bookmarks from buku-fzf.
I mapped a keyboard shortcut to opening buku-fzf on a terminal emulator.

buku-fzf's command line options allow you to choose a default browser and a different browser associated with a bookmark tag.

For example, the default web browser can be firefox, but bookmarks with "torbrowser" tag can be opened in tor browser.

Visit buku-fzf for details.
www-misc/buku-fzf::crocket-overlay is available now.

I mapped a keyboard shortcut to

Code:
alacritty --class buku-fzf -t buku-fzf -e buku-fzf -b firefox -t "torbrowser,torbrowser --allow-remote"


alacritty closes right after I finish choosing bookmakrs. I can also select multiple bookmarks with tab and shift+tab before pressing enter to open chosen bookmarks in a web browser.

With the following sway configuration

Code:
bindsym $mod+$alt+b exec $term --class buku-fzf -t buku-fzf -e \
buku-fzf -b firefox -t "torbrowser,torbrowser --allow-remote"

bindsym $mod+$alt+Shift+b exec $term --class buku-fzf \
-t "buku-fzf (tor browser)" -e buku-fzf -b "torbrowser --allow-remote"

for_window [instance=buku-fzf] floating enable, resize set 1600 900 px, \
move position center


buku-fzf pops up at the center of the screen. The window size is automatically set to 1600 by 900.
