Assign Shortcuts for Web Bookmarks
Speaking of browser bookmarks, the nearest would be bookmarks menu attached to our browsers. Without accessing external sites for extracting out bookmarks, links to favorite sites can be obtained right from web browser bookmarks menu.
However, blazing fast access speed to bookmarked sites won't be achieved without bits of tweaking to browser settings and system preferences. The easiest tweak made to increase speed won't be far away from assigning new keyboard shortcuts.
Let's proceed on and get to step-by-step guide to adding new shortcut to browser bookmarks…
Allocation of Shortcuts
One of the advantages in using Mac is the ability to either customize every bit of available shortcuts or assign new shortcuts to available features via System Preferences.
Talking about adding new shortcuts to browser bookmarks, these steps work well for all kind of browsers. But we will take Safari Web Browser as example.
Update : Apparently, this doesn't work on Firefox 3. Still can't figure out the solution.
- Go to System Preferences → Keyboard & Mouse → Keyboard Shortcuts
- Click on [+] button and additional menu will be pulled down
- Choose Safari as Application with your bookmarks name (e.g. Gorgeous Apple Wallpapers) filled into field labelled Menu Title
- Now assign new Keyboard Shortcut for previously saved bookmark
- Upon adding that new shortcut, the change in menubar display should be spotted

that's (one reason) why i use Safari: the first 9 Bookmarks in Bookmark-List right under the Toolbar are preset with cmd+1 thru cmd+9 … :-)

This doesn't work for me :S The shortcut IS schown in the bookmarks menu, but when I hit it nothing happens but a short highlighting of "Bookmarks" in the topmenubar. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried for Safari and Firefox 3. This trick works well on Safari but, unfortunately, fails with Firefox 3 which only Bookmarks menu is highlighted without any action being performed.

@ Wendy aha. that's why it doesn't work wit me :P Still useful for safari, though i don't use the apple browser... I prefer Firefox with all the add-ons

Got to to work in Safari then it quit working. Not sure what to do to get it working again. I quit Safari and restarted and verified the shortcuts are still there but they don't work. Any ideas?
Wendy
After the first time launching Safari, you need to click pull down Bookmarks one time before the shortcut can start to work. Maybe it's because Safari needs to detect the bookmarks' link first.
Roger
Wendy, Thanks so much that did the trick. I'm surprised that simple fix got past me though...I guess sometimes we overlook the most simple solutions.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.JEwFIenakXDa1X3A

All modern web browsers include bookmark features. Bookmarks are called favorites or Internet shortcuts in Internet Explorer, and by virtue of that browser's large market share, these terms have been synonymous with bookmark since the first browser war. Galaxy S3 case
