Actually if you click the link twice, the first click (with Ctrl) will open
in the current tab, but the second Ctrl click opens the link in a second
background tab.

For me anyways...

That only works with a link on the page. That doesn't work with a
link in the sidebar.

If you're using Firefox, you hold the Ctrl key while clicking the link it
will open in the background. This has been the built in default for Firefox
for a long time.

I just used the manager to drag and drop some folders into another folder...
it lost all the folders, so now all those bookmarks are mixed up together.

This is good for now just to get links between systems, but I'm going to
need another solution to sync.

Thanks :)

Open in Background from Sidebar

2009-07-03T07:51:49Z

Hello,

I used to be able to right-click on a bookmark from the sidebar, click
on "Open," and the new tab would open in the background. That doesn't
happen anymore. Clicking on "Open" will open the link in the active
window. When I click on "Open in New Tab," it opens the tab in the
foreground. How do I get new tabs to open in the background again?

There's a label separater that GMarks supports which is > by default. So
Extensions>Gmarks as a label would look like the Gmarks label being
underneath the Extensions label. I don't think it works on google's
bookmarks site though.

I think when you add a label that does not already exist it is the
equivalent of creating a folder.

I got some folders into google bookmarks... can someone tell me how I
did that?
There's no 'add folder' option anywhere I can see.

Actually you could (theoretically) include this in gmarks - essentially,
with my checking off permission, 1. store toolbar bookmarks in some obscure
google label. 2. overwrite the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder in firefox
whenever I ask.
but this is really something google should do ... particularly since their

No I guess that isn't really possible, although the toolbar item does
function similarly if given a specific label (like a toolbar label)

Oh I use both toolbar items (the one you described, and the one that opens
the sidebar).
Allow me to restate my question.
ON the toolbar, I have a few bookmarks (not icons, not buttons, but Firefox
bookmarks .,... on the toolbar, ready to click). my 400 other bookmarks
are in google-bookmarks ... portable everywhere. I've used google

I'm the author. There's a toolbar item you can add called GMarks
Toolbar which you can drag onto the toolbar from the customize dialog
(View-Toolbars-Customize). By default it shows the bookmarks in a
drop down list but you can specify a specific label or labels for it
to show in the options dialog.

Thanks. Useful to know ... but fyi I am happy with it now (as long as I
know)

Also -
1. Since another shortcut conflicted, I really never saw the sidebar (I
used the toolbar icon) ... SOooooooo ... it would never occur to me to
check view->sidebar since Gmarks was never primarily a sidebar utility (for

You can change it, there just isn't a nice way. Sorry You can also
find the shortcut listed if you go to View->Sidebars->Gmarks. Go to
about:config and search for gmarks.keys.sidebar. You can find a
description of the available values for the modifier field (which can
be a space separated list) at [link]

Re: Shortcut key?

2009-07-02T00:29:56Z

darn. yes and no.
since you suggested alt-m, if figured this was indeed the official shortcut
(nowhere on g*d's internet can this be found documented!) ... it doesn't
work - but it's because it conflicts with another FF add-on. Neither add
on allows the shortcut to be changed. But at least now I know what the
