shortcuts to bookmarks. 

I maintain a bookmarks file in a format borrowed from uzbl long ago when
I switched to surf. It's formatted like

<url> <title>\t[:<shortcut> ][<tag1> [<tag2>]]
e.g.
        http://suckless.org suckless    :s code 
        http://dwm.suckless.org suckless        :dwm code 
        http://surf.suckless.org surf   browser code 
        http://st.suckless.org st       terminal emulator code 
        http://%s.suckless.org suckless         :sl code good
        https://startpage.com/do/search?query=%s        :default 
        https://startpage.com/do/search?query=%s        :sp 

then, my SETURI invokes a script that does one of
- return the URI corresponding to a shortcut, if the first argument is a
  shortcut (substituting the rest of the arguments for %s in the URI),
- return the `:default` URI with all arguments (i.e. $@) substituted for
  %s,
- return the argument itself if it's an URI.

I have also some tooling for filtering on tags (rather than shortcuts),
stripping domains, etc. I may find some time to organise them in a
public repo if anyone is interested. 

On a side note: thanks for continuing the work on surf! I'm still on the
old branch but will switch to wk2 very soon. 

cheers
