I want to customize my Zathura to allow me to type #name_of_a_bookmark, hit Enter and get sent to this bookmark.

Based on the answer of another question on this site I figured out that this can be done using the map command in the zathurarc file and the command should be similar to this: map # focus_inputbar ":blist ".

Then I found out that this doesn't work because # is the symbol which starts a comment in the zathurarc file. (Using another symbol like - instead of # worked so everything else in the command is correct.)

Is there a way to escape # in the zathurarc file so I can use it for key bindings?

  • Doesn't simply ```map \# ...``` works? (not able to test it right now) –  Mar 13 '20 at 09:35
  • I don't know - I can try it in a few hours when I'm home again. The reason I didn't try `\#` is that I didn't realize that `#` is the comment symbol when I tried to use my command. Just now I read more about zathurarc commands and saw this as a comment symbol. – Marv Mar 13 '20 at 09:37
  • I've tested it on zathura 0.4.3 (debian 10) –  Mar 13 '20 at 10:13
  • Nice thanks, I'll accept your answer as soon as I can test it today (provided it works but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't). – Marv Mar 13 '20 at 10:17

Simply escaping it with a backslash works.

map \# focus_inputbar ":blist "
