Interface to the buku Web bookmark manager
Ebuku provides a basic interface to the [buku](https://github.com/jarun/buku) Web bookmark manager. ## Table of Contents - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) - [Customisation](#customisation) - [TODO](#todo) - [Issues](#issues) - [License](#license) ## Installation Install [Ebuku from MELPA](https://melpa.org/#/ebuku), 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](https://github.com/emacs-evil/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: * as a TODO item, or * in [the project's "Issues" section on GitHub](https://github.com/flexibeast/ebuku/issues), 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. ## License [GNU General Public License version 3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), or (at your option) any later version.
