bt (brotab = Browser Tabs) is a command-line tool that helps you manage browser tabs. It can
help you list, close, reorder, open and activate your tabs.

positional arguments:
  {move,list,close,activate,active,search,index,open,words,text,html,dup,windows,clients,install}
    move                move tabs around. This command lists available tabs and runs
                        the editor. In the editor you can 1) reorder tabs -- tabs
                        will be moved in the browser 2) delete tabs -- tabs will be
                        closed 3) change window ID of the tabs -- tabs will be moved
                        to specified windows
    list                list available tabs. The command will request all available
                        clients (browser plugins, mediators), and will display
                        browser tabs in the following format:
                        "<prefix>.<window_id>.<tab_id><Tab>Page title<Tab>URL"
    close               close specified tab IDs. Tab IDs should be in the following
                        format: "<prefix>.<window_id>.<tab_id>". You can use "list"
                        command to obtain tab IDs (first column)
    activate            activate given tab ID. Tab ID should be in the following
                        format: "<prefix>.<window_id>.<tab_id>"
    active              display active tabs for each client/window in the following
                        format: "<prefix>.<window_id>.<tab_id>"
    search              Search across your indexed tabs using sqlite fts5 plugin.
    query               Filter tabs using chrome.tabs api.
    index               Index the text from browser's tabs. Text is put into sqlite
                        fts5 table.
    open                open URLs from the stdin (one URL per line). One positional
                        argument is required: <prefix>.<window_id> OR <client>. If
                        window_id is not specified, URL will be opened in the active
                        window of the specifed client
    navigate            navigate to URLs. There are two ways to specify tab ids and
                        URLs: 1. stdin: lines with pairs of "tab_id<tab>url" 2.
                        arguments: bt navigate <tab_id> "<url>", e.g. bt navigate b.20.1
                        "https://google.com" stdin has the priority.
    update              Update tabs state, e.g. URL. There are two ways to specify
                        updates: 1. stdin, pass JSON of the form: [{"tab_id":
                        "b.20.130", "properties": {"url": "http://www.google.com"}}]
                        Where "properties" can be anything defined here:

                        arguments, e.g.: bt update -tabId b.1.862
