Chrome and managing bookmarks

[dannyboy]

Hello all.  I would like to know where may I go to learn how to understand how to use the bookmark manager in Chrome with the keyboard.

Hello,

Please review this article for more information on the Bookmark Manager in Chrome. Then, if you are experiencing specific issues, please feel free to open a bug at CRbug.com and include information on your operating system and version of Chrome you are using. 

Thanks,

Laura

Hello, thank you for your quick reply to my question.

Just want to know.You mean, if I have problems.

I never have liked the over-use of ‘issues’.

Why is that term so popular?

In that article was nothing about how to use the keyboard to do anything.

Had you read that article?

Am I missing something?

I am open to whatever you would like for me to know.

Hello,

I am a Chrome developer and in the past I worked on making the Bookmark Manager more accessible using the keyboard.

Which operating system are you using?

On ChromeOS and Windows, the shortcut to open the Bookmark Manager is Ctrl+Shift+O.

On Windows if you are using Jaws or NVDA, please use the PC Cursor or Focus Mode to move around the dialog. Use the up /down cursor to select a folder or a bookmark. Use tab to move between the folders and bookmarks list. Use the Applications key or Shift+F10 on Windows to show a menu containing actions for each bookmark.

Cheers,

Nektarios.

Thanks for letting me know you're using a Chromebook. I have some more resources for you. 

It's true that the article I sent you before didn't have explicit keyboard instructions. I wanted to give you a general reference until I learned more about your specific setup. I hope to resolve any confusion that may have caused. 

First, here is a video walking you through using the bookmark manager with a keyboard on Chromebooks. The bookmarks and bookmark manager portion of the video starts at the 1 minute mark. Here are some key shortcuts from the video: 

# Open the bookmark manager using ctrl + shift + o. This opens the bookmarks manager in a new tab and puts the focus in the "Search bookmarks" box in the bookmarks manager. 

# Use tab + enter + esc keys to move around the bookmarks manager.  

# Close the bookmark manager by using the keyboard shortcut to close tabs, ctrl + w or to close the whole window using ctrl + shift + w. 

You can also use tab to move forward and shift + tab to move backwards on the page. You can use the space bar or the enter key to expand menus. 

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. 

Thanks,

Laura

Hi,

I haven't watched the video myself, but from my own experience one trick to remember if you are using a Chromebook, the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+O to open the Bookmarks Manager will only work if you have a tab open. If nothing is open, please first press Ctrl+N to open a new window.

Also, use the Organize menu next to each bookmark to edit delete and otherwise perform actions on it. You may navigate the list of bookmarks similar to how you navigate any tree view control, i.e. left/right to collapse / expand folders and up / down to select folders and bookmark items.

Thanks,

Nektarios.

After pressing ‘organize’, how does one pick which thing to do with that bookmark or folder?

 Hello,

You can use cursor up and cursor down together with enter  in the organize menu.  It’s just an ordinary pop-up menu.

Thanks,

Thank you.  I will try that.
