HISTORY

Description

This patch writes the loaded URI to a file and that is all it does. You must modify config.h and add the following:

static char *historyfile        = ".surf/history";

Here are some ways of using it.

(1) Write a small shell script.

cat ~/.surf/history | sort -ru | dmenu -l 10 -b -i | xprop -id `cat ~/.surf/id` -f SURF_URI 8s -set _SURF_URI

(2) Modify config.h and add the following.

#define SETURI(p)       { .v = (char *[]){ "/bin/sh", "-c", \
"prop=\"`dmenu.uri.sh`\" &&" \
"xprop -id $1 -f $0 8s -set $0 \"$prop\"", \
p, winid, NULL } }

and in static Key keys[] add:

{ MODKEY,               GDK_Return, spawn,      SETURI("_SURF_URI") },

Here are some tips on using it.

(1) Remove duplicates periodically:

cat ~/.surf/history > ~/.surf/history.$$
cat ~/.surf/history.$$ | sort | uniq >~/.surf/history
rm -f ~/.surf/history.$$

(2) Import history:

Firefox:

sqlite3 -list $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/places.sqlite 'select url from moz_places ;' | grep ^http >> ~/.surf/history

Chromium:

sqlite3 -list $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/History 'select url from urls' | grep ^http >> ~/.surf/history
