Describe the feature you'd like

I like to keep my bookmarks super organized and in folders. So I need a way to find ones that are not attached to any list.
My Suggestion would be to have either:
a) a negatory operator: !is:inlist, or
b) a separate keyword for this specific use case: is:notinlist

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

This would help me find stuff I have hoarded but not put into any folders so that I can organize them. I love to just browse specific folders sometimes for inspiration and such.

Some links also get lost in space when I delete a list but forget to add those links to another list. These are impossible to find unless I remember the name or keywords.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No. Unless I am missing something obvious. I have gone through past issues and did not find anything.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

We already have a negation operator (-)
