Re: [STUMP] retrieve url of focused browser?

[Matt Carroll]

You're probably better off using browser extensions for this. I use Vimperator because I like programming lisp in vim because I'm stupid like that, and it's literally just a case of pressing y to yank the URL into the clipboard. I'm sure there are greasemonkey scripts or extensions that do the same thing with a lot less effort than trying to get the window manager to do it

I use org-capture with stumpwm too:

My stumpwm configure: https://github.com/tumashu/stumpwm-config
My emacs configure: https://github.com/tumashu/emacs-helper

Could you share your extension?
