A small collection of shell scripts for managing different qutebrowser sessions efficiently.

Functionality

• Save a current session with a given name
• Load a named session
• Delete a named session

Setup

Clone this repo and enter its directory. Then run

pwd > ~/.qutesessions

and then

chmod +x *

Replace dmenu-wl in the scripts with any kind of menu programs you like (dmenu, rofi, wofi etc.)

Usage

Execute the scripts in your shell or integrate them into key bindings of your windows manager.

You can restore / delete sessions even if there are no qutebrowser instances running. When updating an already saved session, I recommend using :w

Here is my example for i3 / sway:

# qutebrowser session commands
mode "qutebrowser sessions" { 
    bindsym Mod1+l exec .../qute-session-scripts/load-session.sh
    bindsym Mod1+s exec .../qute-session-scripts/save-session.sh
    bindsym Mod1+d exec .../qute-session-scripts/delete-session.sh
    bindsym Mod1+Shift+q mode "default"
    bindsym Ctrl+Return mode "default"
}
bindsym Mod1+Shift+q mode "qutebrowser sessions"
