Installation

Install Ebuku from MELPA, or put the ebuku folder in your load-path and do a (load "ebuku").

Usage

Create an Ebuku buffer with M-x ebuku.

In the *Ebuku* buffer, the following bindings are available:

  • s - Search for a bookmark (ebuku-search).

  • r - Show recently-added bookmarks (ebuku-search-on-recent).

  • * - Show all bookmarks (ebuku-show-all).

  • - - Toggle results limit (ebuku-toggle-results-limit).

  • g - Refresh the search results, based on last search (ebuku-refresh).

  • RET - Open the bookmark at point in a browser (ebuku-open-url).

  • n - Move point to the next bookmark URL (ebuku-next-bookmark).

  • p - Move point to the previous bookmark URL (ebuku-previous-bookmark).

  • a - Add a new bookmark (ebuku-add-bookmark).

  • d - Delete a bookmark (ebuku-delete-bookmark). If point is on a bookmark, offer to delete that bookmark; otherwise, ask for the index of the bookmark to delete.

  • e - Edit a bookmark (ebuku-edit-bookmark). If point is on a bookmark, edit that bookmark; otherwise, ask for the index of the bookmark to edit.

  • C - Copy the URL of the bookmark at point to the kill ring (ebuku-copy-url).

  • T - Copy the title of the bookmark at point to the kill ring (ebuku-copy-title).

  • I - Copy the index of the bookmark at point to the kill ring (ebuku-copy-index).

  • q - Quit Ebuku.

Bindings for Evil are available via the evil-collection package, in evil-collection-ebuku.el.

The index of a bookmark can be displayed in the echo area by moving the screen pointer over the leading -- text for the bookmark.

Completion

Ebuku provides two cache variables for use by completion frameworks (e.g. Ivy or Helm): ebuku-bookmarks and ebuku-tags, which can be populated via the ebuku-update-bookmarks-cache and ebuku-update-tags-cache functions, respectively.

Customisation

The ebuku customize-group includes variables for:

  • the path to the buku executable;

  • the path to the buku database;

  • the number of recently-added bookmarks to show;

  • which bookmarks to show on startup;

  • the maximum number of bookmarks to show;

  • whether to automatically retrieve URL metadata when adding a bookmark; and

  • the faces used by Ebuku;

  • whether to use sqlite to refresh the ebuku-bookmarks and ebuku-tags cache variables (requires separate installation of sqlite3 executable).

TODO

  • One should be able to edit bookmarks directly in the *Ebuku* buffer, à la wdired. Much of the infrastructure to support this is already in place, but there are still important details yet to be implemented.

Issues / bugs

If you discover an issue or bug in Ebuku not already noted:

please create a new issue with as much detail as possible, including:

  • which version of Emacs you're running on which operating system, and

  • how you installed Ebuku.
