nvda and bookmarks

[Jerry Martin]

Good afternoon to all.

 

Using Google Chrome, can anyone tell me if there are any specific instructions for accessing the bookmarks list? I know that the keyboard combination control shift O opends the bookmarks manager. But when I was able to get to the specific bookmark, it would not open. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

 

In Chrome, I hit alt + f followed by b. I then arrow down to the folder I want and then arrow down or use the first letter of the name of the bookmark. Then pressing enter takes you there.

 

Creating new folders can be trickey. I use the book manager for this instead of the new folder option when saving a bookmark. I never seem to know where that function will create the folder; it is many times put it in another folder creating a sub-folder that can be hard to get to.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best

George

I will give it a go. I know that it works because I have used it previously. Thanks.

Okay. I opened chrome, made sure I was not in the search edit box, and tried to follow the alt f b combination. However, it did not do anything. I tried to do a copy and paste to put a shortcut on my desktop, but that did not work either. Thanks.

Hi,

I go to the bookmark bar with alt+shift+b and navigate my bookmarks
If alt+shift+b is not working then you have to turn on the bookmark bar
with ctrl+shift+b.

Regards, marten

Try alt shift O. If you use an extension I use called Spruce marks it
will sort all of your bookmarks folders first in ABC order if you want
it. I ever ever have my bookmarks bar open, and alt f stopped working
since last year at least since last year for me. I'm now using chrome
version 150.x.
