Import Sogudi's Safari shortcuts to Firefox

If you are a Safari user and use Sogudi, you'll know how easy it is to use its shortcuts. When I moved to Linux, I needed a way to import my shortcuts to Mozilla Firefox, which has the same feature (known as Quick Searches). So, I wrote sogudi2qs.py, a Python script that exports all shortcuts into a file that can then be imported into Firefox's bookmarks.

To use it, download the script [view source], then type this in Terminal:

$ cd /path/to/download/location
$ unzip sogudi2qs.py_.zip
$ python sogudi2qs.py >quicksearches.html
That will create a file named quicksearches.html in the current directory. Then just import that file into Firefox's Bookmarks, and you've transferred all your Sogudi shortcuts.

[robg adds: There's a Sogudi Beta available for 10.5 users; I haven't tested it, however.]
