GoURL is a small Golang program that reads URLs and email addresses from standard input (STDIN)
You can use any terminal that supports piping visible text to external programs (alacritty, kitty, wezterm, etc).
I'm using st terminal with externalpipe patch to read/pipe current visible text to this program.
Using the option -c, --copy or -o, --open will display the items in dmenu
Without flags, prints URLs found to standard output (STDOUT), you can pipe it to your preferred menu or launcher.
- Extract URLs from
STDIN - Choose items with
dmenu - Ignore
duplicates - Copy to clipboard
- Open with
xdg-open - Custom regex search
- Add
indexto URLs found - Limit number of items
