They don't really seem to work properly at all, so until they're more fleshed out and consistently working cross-browser they're better off removed.

Thanks for bukubrow! I just started using it and it's great so far, it's awesome to finally have a good solution for cross browser bookmarking that I can sync across my machines without a cloud service.

The default binding for opening bukubrow Ctrl+Shift+B (as mentioned in #124) is bound by default to show/hide the bookmarks bar in firefox and vivaldi (not sure of others) so this does not work out of the box for me. As far as I can tell there is no simple way to change default keybindings in firefox at the moment. I tried unbinding this shortcut in vivaldi and it did not work after I this either. It would be great to have the ability to set custom key bindings added to the browser extension - I don't know how straightforward that is to do across the different browsers, but it would be a big increase in usability for me.

I also just noticed that once the extension is opened I can change the focus to the open all, add bookmark buttons by pressing tab and the focus appears to go to these buttons but return still opens the bookmark highlighted in the list rather than triggering the action of the button - this occurs in both firefox and vivaldi. Arrow key navigation works fine in the list and I can tab through the fields/buttons in the add bookmark dialog once open though.

Hope the feedback is useful.

Ctrl+Shift+B also toggles bookmarks bar in Chrome/Chromium.

Also, Ctrl+L focuses location bar and selects all text in it (both in Chrome and Firefox, I believe).

…I think keybindings similar to existing might make some sense (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+D to add/edit bookmark in Bukubrow, compared to Ctrl+D to in-browser keybinding and Ctrl+Shift+D for opening "Bookmark all tabs" dialog; or Ctrl+Alt+O to open Bukubrow in search mode, compared to Ctrl+Shift+O for opening bookmarks manager), though I'm not sure if these would actually be convenient for most users.

Hi I agree, thanks for bukubrow I like it. Although I would love working keyboard navigation. When I tab to the "Open all bookmarks" it does not work in brave which is the only one I tried. It seems like it triggers the "Open all", but is immediately interrupted by instead loading the first entry from the list. The whole point of bukubrow for me is that I want to avoid using the pointer cursor to go to my sites. Please fix this and I will love bukubrow. :)
