Keyboard Shortcut to Create New Folder in Library?

[thechamlin]

I have deleted tons of bookmarks and am reorganizing what's left. Need to make quite a few new folders/subfolders. Is there a keyboard shortcut to use when in the Library/bookmark manager?

Here is a code snippet to create a temporary shortcut in the library window.

Command: New Folder
Shortcut: F1

Code: Select all

(function () {
  var win = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("Places:Organizer");
  if (win) {
    var keyset = win.document.getElementById("placesOrganizerKeyset");
    var key = win.document.createXULElement("key");
    key.setAttribute("id", "__unique_identifier_key_new_folder");
 // key.setAttribute("key", "A"); // A
 // key.setAttribute("modifiers", "control,shift"); // Ctrl+Shift
 // key.setAttribute("modifiers", "alt"); // Alt
    key.setAttribute("keycode", "VK_F1"); // F1
    key.setAttribute("command", "placesCmd_new:folder");
    keyset.appendChild(key);
  } else {
    var win = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
    win.alert("The library window is not opened.");
  }
})();

P.S.

You can import the bookmarks.html file to create the new folders.

* bookmarks.html

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
