Keyboard shortcut to address the Bookmarks toolbar ?

[sr71]

Hi all,

Is there any keyboard shortcut to address the Bookmarks toolbar. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there isn't. You can however use Ctrl - B (also Ctrl - I on Windows) to open and close the Bookmarks sidebar, which does a similar job.

what does "address the bookmarks toolbar" mean?

Assume you display the bookmarks toolbar and are looking for a way to use this bookmarks toolbar with the keyboard only, without :

- using the trick of displaying the bookmarks in the sidebar, pointed out by Orions_Stardom (I would like still to have full display in width)
- using Alt-B and navigating in the FF application's menu (not very user-friendly)

ah ok, I don't know how to address the bookmakr toolbar, then

Does one of you know how to enable/disable the "View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks Toolbar" by using a keyboard shortcut?

Or do you know the name of the internal function for the call for this menu?
If I knew the name of this function then I could tell the keyconfig add-on to call this function and enable and disable the bookmarks toolbar.

Or do you know its value in the about:config?
Perhaps toggling it instantly issues the command for hiding/unhiding it.

I have the same request!!
I use the Hide Menubar add-on to hide the menubar and it works absolutely perfect I think, giving me a ALT shortcut, and it only appears when you release that ALT-button only. Not by pressing ALT+CTRL+Up Button for instance.
I would like to be able to do a similar thing with the bookmarks toolbar. Like pressing CTRL+ALT+1 toggles the bookmarks toolbar.
So I'm posting in this thread first to see if anything happens, else I will create a new thread later (having a appropriate name).
What I am most keen about is if someone could give me the keyconfig code to achieve what is requested. And then explain how to implement it.
Making a add-on would also be okay, but I prefer the above.
(Also, I do recall once stumbling on a underground add-on (one that is not hosted on AO red.) to assign different shortcuts for different toolbars... Does such a add-on exist?)
Peace

@fallout33: Wow I found it :O....:

I want to set a shortcut for toggling show/hide of bookmarks and navigation toolbar but I can't find the command. Does anybody know how to do this?

Try

Code: Select all

var toolbar = document.getElementById("PersonalToolbar");
toolbar.collapsed = !toolbar.collapsed;
document.persist(toolbar.id, "collapsed");

. Replace "PersonalToolbar" with "nav-bar" for the Navigation Toolbar, or "toolbar-menubar" for the Menu.

Thanks, it's working great!

1. Access Keyconfig manager window by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F12...
2. Choose 'Add a new key'
3. Write what ever name you like in the 'Name' field (I choose "Hide Bookmarks Toolbar" as name)
4. Copy the code and paste the code
5. Assign shortcut (After some thinking I like CTRL+ALT+0(zero) better than CTRL+ALT+1 as it is quicker/more ergonomic, Edit: can't be done , CTRL+ALT+1 is the only number you can use, but what the heck . Edit2: Just came up with a better shortcut that is possible: CTRL+ALT+O)
6. Restart FF

It works (I'm on FF3Final)... Yay , Superb

Thank you. This code works for me too.

You can also hide the status bar by replacing "PersonalToolbar" with "status-bar"
