How to keep track of thousands of bookmarks with a simple tool and your own tags.
Copy or add a bookmark:
dmenu fuzzy search dialogue for all your bookmarks. Simple text format.
It needs to be made with make and the config file should be edited too. More docs soon, although it is a simple program. Details in the source.

Voit’s article (the good ideas are from here)
download the dmenu package
Grand Generalized Dmenu Tagger coming soon to stores near you.
Scripts
- bm – search & copy, add, or edit/plumb a bookmark (edit/plumb not implemented yet).
Install
Requirements: xclip, dmenu, make
- Export the $BOOKMARKS variable containing the location of the
bookmarks. I like to use ~/.local/share/sbm to store my config.
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/sbm/
~/.bashrc
export BOOKMARKS=“~/.local/share/sbm/bookmarks” - define your tag choices in USERTAGS and export that too. The file
syntax is:
<tag><space><description><newline>
See the included usertags file for an example.
~/.bashrc
export USERTAGS=“~/.local/share/sbm/usertags”
- make install
Usage
Execute
search-term is an extended regex for grep.
Bookmark lines are space separated values
