Robuku

Robuku is a rofi script written in Go that manages bookmarks from buku. This script allows you to add, delete, modify, and navigate to bookmarks directly from the Rofi interface.

Features

• Search: Find bookmarks using rofi's built-in matching features.
• Goto: Open a bookmark in your default web browser.
• Add: Add a new bookmark.
• Delete: Remove an existing bookmark.
• Modify: Update fields of an existing bookmark.

Requirements

• A buku SQLite database file (bookmarks.db). You can set a custom path with the environment variable $ROBUKU_DB_PATH.
• Optionally, xdg-utils or you can set a browser with the environment variable $ROBUKU_BROWSER.

Notes

Searching

Tags and URLs are used as metadata for search but are not displayed unless the bookmark has no title. In that case, the URL is displayed instead of the title.

Broken Message Box

If the message box is not resizing to the text, go to your rofi config and remove the height property from window. Instead, set the lines property (number of entries listed in rofi) of listview to achieve the desired height.

Hotkeys (Alt+1, etc.) Not Working

If hotkeys are not working in rofi, check the following properties in the rofi config: kb-custom-1, kb-custom-2, and kb-custom-3. If they are not set to their default values, the hotkeys listed in robuku will be incorrect.
