qute-plugin-fzfhistory

Open your history in a fzf menu
Open in fzf the history of the last 100 recently closed tabs

Thanks to this discussion for the tip about displaying sfrtime directly with sqlite3.

Installation

Dependencies

The plugin need sqlite3 installed. If you want to use another sqlite tool, edit the 'qute-plugin-fzfhistory' file and adapt the code...

git clone https://github.com/Twix53791/qute-plugin-fzfhistory/
cd qute-plugin-fzfhistory
cp fzfhistory-userscript ~/.config/qutebrowser/userscripts/
cp qute-plugin-fzfhistory ~/config/qutebrowser/bin/

• edit fzfhistory-userscript to fit your config. I use for example kitty as a terminal, but maybe not you...
• qute-plugin-fzfhistory can be copied in any bin path, for example /usr/local/bin. I have created a bin folder in qutebrowser config I added to my bin path in .zshrc (or .bashrc), but you can use your own setup.

To use the 'closed-tabs' extension

This extension can be launched with spawn -u fzfhistory-userscript closed-tabs. It stores the last 100 closed tabs in the file 'closed-tabs-history' in the qutebrowser datadir. The patch modifies the file 'mainwindow/tabbedbrowser.py' in qutebrowser source code. You can find the location of qutebrowser files with qutebrowser -V.

patch -u /patch/to/qutebrowser/mainwindow/tabbedbrowser.py -i tabbedbrowser.patch

Use

In config.py:

'h': 'spawn -u fzfhistory-userscript',
'H': 'spawn -u fzfhistory-userscript closed-tabs',

Structure

fzfhistory-userscript run a termminal window (I recommand to make it floating for example in your window manager rules), running the command qute-plugin-fzfhistory which displays the content of the table CompletionHistory of history.sqlite, displaying the datetime in a human readable format.
