Open bookmarks from qc #7

Closed husimo-tilleuls closed 1 year ago

husimo-tilleuls commented 1 year ago

Hello,

First of all, thank you for QOwnNotes and qc! It's working very nicely!

I would be great to be able to open bookmarks from terminal using qc (or another program named for example qb as bookmark URL is not a command but codebase could be close I think).

Indeed, it would "just necessitate" (I'm not technically a dev so maybe it's easy to say!) to pipe bookmark URL to the open command.

For me it would be much more practical than opening my webbrowser, then click on the extension, search my bookmark, open it.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for you kind words!

So basically you want a new terminal app that does the same as https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion? 😆

husimo-tilleuls commented 1 year ago

Actually yes! And I didn't know on which repo create the issue lol.

I don't need all web-companion features though, just be able to browse bookmarks and open it, so I guess it would be closer to qc than web-companion.

Thank you

I really think browser bookmarks are a thing that can depend on a browser, just like terminal commands can depend on the terminal. :) So don't really see a use-case for a cli browser bookmark tool. :) What is your use-case?

husimo-tilleuls commented 1 year ago

I like to use my mouse the least as possible. Everything I can do in my terminal or using a "command palette" like krunner (e.g. searching on a search engine or actually navigating through actual Firefox bookmarks) I do it using them. I'm not going to ask for a krunner addon as I guess it's something particular.

Maybe if I could use the web companion app only with keyboard shortcuts it would do the job but I can't seem to be able to trigger Ctrl + Shift + B to open the bookmarks popup on Firefox (it displays and hide the bookmarks bar). I just filled a separate issue for that : https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/issues/48

Since shortcuts do work in the browser extension let's best lets talk about that in https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/issues/48. 😉
