This is part of an on-going effort ;; to increase the information I provide people while reducing the amount ;; of typing I need to do. No-doubt there are undiscovered Emacs packages ;; out there that do all of this and do it better, feel free to point me to ;; them, in the mean time I'm having fun playing with Emacs Lisp. ;; ;; The URLs are stored in an external file as a list of either cons cells, ;; or lists. A cons cell entry looks like this: ;; ;; ( . ) ;; ;; where is a string that acts as the keyword lookup and is ;; the URL associated with it. An example might be: ;; ;; ("GNU" . "https://www.gnu.org/") ;; ;; A list entry looks like: ;; ;; ( ) ;; ;; where and are the same as with the cons cell and ;; is any text you like that describes the URL. This description will be ;; used when presenting a list of URLS using `quickurl-list'. An example ;; might be: ;; ;; ("FSF" "https://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation") ;; ;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like: ;; ;; (("GNU" . "https://www.gnu.org/") ;; ("FSF" "https://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation") ;; ("emacs" . "http://www.emacs.org/") ;; ("davep" "http://www.davep.org/" "Dave's homepage")) ;; ;; In case you're wondering about the mixture of cons cells and lists, ;; quickurl started life using just the cons cells, there were no comments. ;; URL comments are a later addition and so there is a mixture to keep ;; backward compatibility with existing URL lists. ;; ;; The name and location of the file is up to you, the default name used by ;; `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'. ;; ;; quickurl is always available from: ;; ;; ;;; TODO: ;; ;; o The quickurl-browse-url* functions pretty much duplicate their non ;; browsing friends.
