What is the "Bookmarks Commander" add-on and how can I use it?

overview

This is an NC-liked bookmarks manager that simplifies operations such as moving items between two panes. If an operation is permitted, its button is active on the toolbar section.

Note: that all the operations that this extension supports have an assigned keyboard shortcut.

All the shortcuts start with "Ctrl" on Windows and Linux operating systems and "Command" on the Mac operating system.

The key that is needed to be pressed is underlined in the commands section.

For instance, to copy the links of selected items in the active pane press the Ctrl + C or Command + C combination. You can see the shortcut of each action by placing your mouse over the designated button.

This extension can copy the

  • links,
  • titles, or
  • bookmark unique ids of the selected items,

move them to the other pane, or open them in background tabs.

Also, it can create new bookmarks and directories if it is permitted.

Navigating in panes

To open a bookmark in the active tab use the Enter key.

To open in a background tab use Ctrl + Enter or Command + Enter keys.

To toggle between the two panes use the Tab key.

The active pane can be easily distinguished by its white background color.

You can also use to move

  • Ctrl + 1 or Command + 1 to move to the left pane and
  • Ctrl + 2 or Command + 2 to move to the right pane.

All the operations except the moving between panes are being performed on the active pane.

To use the extension as a bookmarks viewer:,

switch each pane to a frequently used directory.

Then use the left and right arrow keys to navigate between panes and up and down keys to select items (you can alternatively use the first character of the bookmark or directory name for the selection to jump to the nearest match). Now press the Enter key to open the selected item in the current tab. Note that if this extension is going to be used as a bookmarks viewer, it is recommended to change the opening mode to "popup" mode so that the extension opens as a popup window. You can even assign a keyboard shortcut for the opening of the extension's interface in the extensions manager window of your browser.
