This is on a Mac. *nix would be something like "firefox -remote %c"
I just press 'S' and it goes to the external browser, but you can make
another one that pipes it through some commands and out through a
printer. (html2text %c | lpr ? IDK. Maybe you have to background it too?)
set document.uri_passing.safari = "open %c 2>/dev/null"
bind "main" "S" = "tab-external-command"
>From the config:
## document.uri_passing
# Rules for passing URIs to external commands. When one rule is defined the
# link and tab menu will have a menu item that makes it possible to pass the
# the link, frame or tab URI to an external command. If several rules are
# defined the link and tab menu will have a submenu of items for each rule.
#
# Note, this is mostly useful for launching graphical viewers, since there is
# no support for releasing the terminal while the command runs. The action
# and submenus are also available by binding keys to the
# frame-external-command, the link-external-command, and the
# tab-external-command actions.
## document.uri_passing.safari <str>
# A rule for passing URI to an external command. The format is:
# %c in the string means the current URL
# %% in the string means '%'
# Do _not_ put single- or double-quotes around %c.
set document.uri_passing.safari = "open %c 2>/dev/null"
bind "main" "S" = "tab-external-command"
