I have a short script:

#!/bin/bash
xclip -selection clipboard
xdotool key F6
xdotool key control+c
xclip -o > ~/sites


On firefox f6 selects the url, I use this with sxhkd to quickly save sites that I may want to go back to.

Basically this relies on xdotool and xclip, I was wondering if there is:

1. a way to do this that does not need so many programs (xclip/xdotool)
2. A better (elaborate) way to do this and why


If you do something similiar let me know how you do it.

Im thinking of either writing a script that will launch iceweasel and open each saved link in a new tab. Or somehow having a startpage that would display a link to each of these sites.

I need to put some more thought into both.

all feedback, comments and stories welcome!
