prepend URL

[CorruptCommit]

I'm opening this issue because:

• I'll report a bug
• I'll propose a new feature

Description

I am curious if there is a way to prepend the current URL with user configurable text. In qutebrowser, I am able to make a QR of the current URL with the following:

config.bind('Q', ':open --tab https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!qr+{url}')

The Wayback Machine is another example and I am sure there are plenty more.

When looking around, it appears that is not currently possible. The closest I could find is view-source, but that is hard coded.

Hi, @CorruptCommit, will custom search engines work for you?

@AlexeySachkov, thanks for the timely reply. How would you feed the current URL or a hinted URL to a custom search engine?

@CorruptCommit,

How would you feed the current URL or a hinted URL to a custom search engine?

Well, that doesn't work, apparently. I just thought that maybe you have some limited/known list of URLs and can use this as workaround at least

@AlexeySachkov, thanks for confirming that there is not a way to accomplish this currently. I am curious your and others thoughts on adding this functionality.
