Notes, Bookmarks & Quickmarks ​

Mise incorporates productivity utilities directly into the browser, saving all data as plain text and JSON files in your local user configuration directory.


Markdown Quick Notes (Ctrl + N) ​

Mise Browser Markdown Quick Notes

Mise includes an integrated scratchpad overlay for taking notes alongside your research:

  • Press Ctrl + N to open or close the Notes overlay.
  • Supports GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax.
  • Editing Mode: Click into the textarea to write notes.
  • Instant Persistence: All notes are automatically saved to:
    text
    ~/.config/mise-browser/notes.md
  • Because notes are stored in a standard Markdown file, you can view or edit them outside Mise using Neovim, Obsidian, or any external text editor.

Bookmarks Manager (Ctrl + Shift + B) ​

The Bookmarks overlay allows you to manage saved links with full keyboard navigation:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + B to toggle the Bookmarks Manager.
  • Add Bookmark: Press Ctrl + Shift + A while viewing any page to save the current URL into your bookmarks collection.
  • Fuzzy Search: Start typing inside the overlay to filter bookmarks dynamically.
  • Open Bookmark: Use the arrow keys to highlight a bookmark and press Enter to open it.
  • Delete Bookmark: Highlight a bookmark and press Delete to remove it from your collection.
  • Bookmarks are stored in:
    text
    ~/.config/mise-browser/bookmarks.json

Quickmarks (Single-Key Fast Jump) ​

Quickmarks provide instantaneous, single-key bookmarking inspired by Vim and window managers:

1. Setting a Quickmark ​

  • While on any page, press Ctrl + Shift + Q.
  • An indicator prompt asks for a key binding.
  • Press any single alphanumeric key (for example, g for GitHub or r for Reddit).
  • The current URL is permanently bound to that key.

2. Jumping to a Quickmark ​

  • From anywhere in the browser, press Ctrl + J.
  • Press the assigned letter key (e.g. g).
  • Mise instantly navigates your active tab to the bound URL.

Quickmarks are saved in:

text
~/.config/mise-browser/quickmarks.json

Actionable History Overlay (Ctrl + Shift + H) ​

Mise Browser Actionable History Overlay

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + H to open the History overlay.
  • Search through your browsing history in real time.
  • Press Enter on any result to open the page.
  • Click Purge History to wipe all stored history records from history.json.
