quickmarks:

FYI: To add a quickmark type command :quick and you’ll see below list of commands in suggestions:

ALERT: Don’t modify the ~/.config/qutebrowser/quickmarks file directly, coz there’s no way of loading that file again in running instace of qutebrowser, so its better to use qutebrowser itself commands below defined to add/delete any quickmarks. ALERT:FYI: If you edit the file if you really want to then you can simply close the browser and open it again so it picks up the changes made in file. (also, config-source doesn’t seem to help with this too).
```
quickmark-add #To add a new quickmark
quickmark-del # To delete a quickmark
quickmark-load name_of_quickmark # To load a quickmark (you can open it in current tab/new tab/new window as well).
quickmark-save # Save the current page as a quickmark.
