mdtabs for TabFS

Copy [$TITLE]($URL) of tabs to clipboard with TabFS (thanks Omar !!).

Note: This script was written for a personal use-case — it may not be the most wieldy. It uses pbcopy which works on mac os. Look into clip if on windows or xclip/xsel if on linux. Also — here's a gist of an earlier script I was using that just copies every open tab except roam, with no available options: capturetabs.sh. It has the benefit of being shorter and more readable.

Installation

Clone (or download/unzip) into same directory as mnt/, or place wherever and change $PRE_DIR.

chmod 755 mdtabs.sh

Usage

./mdtabs.sh copies the last focused tab to the clipboard and overwrites tabs.md.

Options

-a: target All tabs

-d: close (Delete) targeted tabs (must use with -a or -x)

-x: eXclude tabs that match a particular query (must use with -a)

-m: set a value to deliMit lines in tabs.md

Examples

Copy link to last focused tab

./mdtabs.sh

Output (copied to clipboard)

cat tabs.md
