zathist.sh

A shell script to fuzzy find (and open) from rofi (or dmenu) a PDF file in the history of the zathura viewer.

Installation

To use this script most conveniently:

1. Save this script, say to ~/bin/zathist.sh by

   mkdir --parents ~/bin &&
   curl -fLo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Konfekt/zathist.sh/master/zathist.sh ~/bin/zathist.sh

2. mark it executable by chmod a+x ~/bin/zathist.sh,

To launch zathist.sh by a global keyboard shortcut, say pressing at the same time the Microsoft Windows key and Z:

1. install, say, Xbindkeys (or Sxhkd), (for example, on openSUSE by sudo zypper install xbindkeys respectively sudo zypper install sxhkd)

2. add to ~/.xbindkeysrc a shortcut that launches zathist.sh, say

   "$HOME/bin/zathist.sh"
   Mod4 + z

3. start xbindkeys.

To start xbindkeys automatically at login, say on a KDE desktop environment, put a file xbindkeys.sh reading

#! /bin/sh
xbindkeys

into ~/.config/autostart-scripts/.

Configuration

PDFs whose path matches the pattern given by the variable

    IGNORE_REGEX="^${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/\|_cropped\.pdf$"

will not be listed.

zathist.sh uses rofi in dmenu mode. Replace at will by dmenu itself and change its command line arguments by the variables

MENU_ENGINE=-rofi
MENU_ARGS="-dmenu -i -keep-right"

To customize the prompt and theme, adapt the variables

THEME='
element{ horizontal-align: 0; }
listview {
    dynamic: true;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px ;
}'
PROMPT='❯ '
