Following my previous post I kept improving my bookmarks script.
I simplified the script to use only one bookmark file and defined a structure to help me while searching.
The bookmarks.txt file
It has two sections (just for organization sake), a Quickmarks section for common urls and a Bookmarks section for everything else.
Each line is divided in three parts. A category/name, tags and the url.
cat ~/.local/bin/bookmarks.txt
>> Quickmarks

The bookmarks script
With this reviewed script you can also quickly edit the bookmarks.txt file.
cat ~/.local/bin/bookmarks
#!/usr/bin/env bash
default_browser="$BROWSER"
cat $HOME/.local/bin/bookmarks.txt | grep -v "^#" > /tmp/bookmarks.txt_tmp
bookmarks_file="/tmp/bookmarks.txt_tmp"
readarray -t bmarks < "${bookmarks_file}"
edit="Edit bookmarks.txt"
choice=$(printf '%s\n' "${edit}" "${bmarks[@]}" | \
rofi -dmenu -i -l 20 -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/gruvbox-dark.rasi \
-matching normal -font "Noto Sans Mono 10" -p 'open url:' "$@" ) || exit
if [ "${choice}" = "${edit}" ]; then
$TERMINAL -e $EDITOR $HOME/.local/bin/bookmarks.txt
elif [[ `echo "$choice" | grep -c "^>>\|^--"` -eq 0 && "$choice" ]]; then
url=$(echo "${choice}" | awk '{print $NF}') || exit
nohup ${default_browser} "$url" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
fi
