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.

• q - Quit Ebuku.

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

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 can be used to customise:

• 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.

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,

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.
