Opening and editing bookmarks

Click a bookmark or press its shortcut letters to open it; the right-click menu and editing in place change it. Usage and recent bookmarks show what you reach for.

With the mouse

Gesture	What it does
Click a bookmark	Opens it and counts the open. The row flashes briefly.
Middle-click / Ctrl-click	Opens it in a new tab, and counts the open
Right-click a bookmark	The actions menu. Inside a selection it acts on the whole selection. Shift + right-click gives the browser's menu.
Drag a bookmark	Reorders it, or moves it to another category
Long-press a bookmark (~500 ms)	Edit in place
Hover a bookmark	The preview card
Click a category header	Folds or unfolds it
Long-press or double-click a category header	Renames it
Right-click a category header	Add a bookmark, rename, tiles, spread, icon, move, add, delete
Drag the // in a category or widget title	Moves it: the page holds still and a dashed box shows where it lands. Drop it on the line between two columns to make it wide
Double-click a page tab	Renames the page, sets its emoji and colour
Alt-click / Shift-click	Adds to, or extends, a selection

Open in new tab follows Behavior → General; Ctrl/Cmd + Enter always opens a new tab.

The right-click menu

Item	Key	What it does
Open in new tab	Ctrl/Cmd + Enter	Opens it in the background
Copy URL	Ctrl + C	Copies the address
Share… / Copy name + URL	Shift + L	The system share sheet where the browser offers one (HTTPS only); otherwise copies name and address
QR code	Shift + J	Shows the address as a QR code, to open it on a phone; drawn in the browser, so the address goes nowhere. Copy URL in the window copies it
Edit	Shift + E	Edit in place
Pin / Unpin	Shift + P
Tags…	Shift + T	The quick tag picker
Move to…	Shift + M	Another category or page
Checking	Shift + C	Off / Periodic / Monitor
Show in list	Shift + R	Opens the bookmark in the Bookmarks view, with its Health section open
Select / Select all in category	x / X	Starts a selection
Delete	Shift + D	Asks first; undo in the toast; the trash keeps it 30 days

The menu also opens with Shift + F10 or the Menu key, beside the row.

The right-click menu on a bookmark, each action with its key.

TIP

A link on your phone. Select the bookmark and press Shift + J, or pick QR code in this menu, then scan the code with the phone's camera. On an inbox row the code holds the item's own link, as Share does. The code is drawn in the browser, so the address is not sent anywhere.

A bookmark as a QR code (Shift + J), ready for the phone's camera.

Editing in place

Shift + E, a long press, or Edit opens the bookmark form over the row, with the page dimmed behind it. Save or Ctrl + Enter writes it; Esc or a click outside closes it, asking first when something changed. While it is open, the grid keys, swiping and paste are paused. Deleting from the form asks first and offers undo.

Editing in place: the bookmark's own form, opened with Shift + E.

Usage

Every open — from the grid, search, the recent panel or the Bookmarks view — adds one to the bookmark's open count and records the time. This feeds Recently opened, Most used, Stale, statistics and the Bookmarks view's Health tab. Opening the same site from the browser's address bar does not count. The counts are in your data files and travel with backups.

Recent bookmarks (*)

A sheet in the middle of the window with what you opened recently, from every page, newest first. Each bookmark is a tile, two across:

• a calendar block with the day and month it was last opened;
• the name and its shortcut;
• the weekday and time, and how long ago when it was less than a day;
• its category, or the name of its page when it lives on another page;
• how often it was opened, with a bar against the most opened.

Pointing at a tile shows the full date. Dates follow the app's language.

Ten tiles fit on a page; a pager in the foot says where you are ("11–20 of 34") and has the page numbers. ] or PageDown goes back to earlier bookmarks, [ or PageUp forward again. The arrow keys move from tile to tile, Enter opens. Open shown opens the tiles on screen in tabs, and Open last 5 the five newest when they are not the ones on screen. The sheet always opens on the newest page. :open last 5 opens several at once.

Recent bookmarks (*): what you opened last, and how often.

Hypr mode

Behavior → General → Hypr mode makes a click open the bookmark in a new browser tab and then close the installed app's window, the way an app launcher works. It pairs with nextDash installed as an app (Phones, tablets and the installed app).
