NAME

6       clipbrowse - Load a URL from the clipboard into your browser.
7

VERSION

9       version 0.28
10

USAGE

12       # ...copy something # (You might want to do a `clipjoin` if the URL
13       text is messy) $ clipbrowse
14
15       Remember that many browsers will usefully load things that don't look
16       like URL's. For example Firefox does a Google "I'm feeling lucky" with
17       non-URLs.  This means you can have any text in your clipboard and
18       `clipbrowse`.
19

MOTIVATION

21       It saves a couple of seconds every time you run it.  Chrome and
22       Firefox, for examples, automatically create a new tab and loads the
23       page when you invoke it from the command line.  Already we've saved a
24       Ctrl+T and a Shift+Insert.  When you consider the parallelizing (that
25       your browser will be actively loading the page while you're Alt+Tabbing
26       to it), you've squeaked out a little more.
27
28       Maybe I'm just a freak, but I like shaving out wasted time like that.
29

CONFIGURATION

31       The environment variable $BROWSER will override the default launching
32       command.  If you have a %s in the line, it will be replaced with the
33       url.  if not, the url will be appended at the end.
34
35       The default is `chromium-browser "%s"` (Debian's Google Chrome) If you
36       still use Firefox, consider: `firefox -remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)"'`.
