Re: [dev] [surf] patches: configurable file locations, bookmark writer, history writer

Why not spawn a process instead of appending the URL to a file.. Sthg
like .cmd="echo '%s' >> bookmarks"

But i have the feeling that URL and title will be better accesible
from the environment instead of formatstring.

In this way I will be able to spawn another surf opening the location
of delicious with the URL as argument,

Another use case would be to generate a tinyurl by calling curl+grep
and put it in the clipboard.

About dmenu...will be nice if it can handle also the title of the urls
so the autocompletion would be better.

I have Another patch for surf. But i will describe it instead of
attaching it. The zoom keys are inverted. Please swap j<=>k j must be
zoom out (less size) and k zoom in (up,increase)..
