Re: [dev] [surf] shell script to do bookmarks, history, and other things

nibble and me cleaned up a bit more my refactored script and
now supports youtube and does not depends on awk, the code
is now much cleaner and easy to ready/modify.

The last script depends on dmenu from mercurial, so it uses
-e $xid to embed.

enjoy :)

btw nibble will probably change the ^G to run $EDITOR to
edit the url. any other idea? feedback?
