Bookmarking using spmenu_run

spmenu_run provides bookmarking entries or just general text if preferred.

Usage

To view the saved bookmarks, open spmenu_run -x (the run launcher component) and type in @. If you have no bookmarks what you're going to get is an empty menu. To add bookmarks, type @ followed by a command. For example @chromium will bookmark an entry called chromium, which will open Chromium.

The : separator

If you want a longer command, you might want a shorter title to be displayed . In that case you can type @ followed by a name and a colon. Anything you type after the colon will be executed using a shell. For example @spmenu documentation:chromium https://spmenu.speedie.site will add an entry called spmenu documentation which when selected will open the spmenu wiki in Chromium.

For traditional bookmarking, consider something like @spmenu documentation:echo spmenu.speedie.site | xclip -sel clipboard. spmenu_run bookmarks should be treated as shell commands.

Using a text editor

Entries can also be added using a text editor. By default the path to the bookmark file is ~/.cache/spmenu_run.bookmarks. This is a plain text file that can be edited by hand. You can easily add entries here.
