Description Sasha Unspecified 2009-02-25 11:02:41 UTC
Version:           2.2 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc

Currently bookmarks are not very useful because user cannot use them quickly. I.e. to launch my third bookmark I currently need to do press the following: Alt, Down, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Enter. Not so handy :).

There are three possible solutions:

First solution: make handy bookmark-menu, and make some shortcut for the whole bookmark-menu.
The first solution in details:
1. Make a (configurable) shortcut for "open bookmarks menu" action.
2. Fix bookmarks appearance in menu: in krusader I'm able to enter "Some&thing" as bookmark title and it appears as "Some_t_hing", i.e. "t" becomes underlined; somewhy I can't do that in konsole.
3. Reorganize bookmarks menu: bookmarks should go first, actions ("Add bookmark", etc) should go last.

Second solution: ability to assign shortcuts to individual bookmarks.

Third solution: ability to place bookmarks onto toolbar.

Personally for me the first solution would be preferable.

Alternatively you could set up some shell aliases or scripts which jump to the location you're after.

Bookmarks are left over from KDE 3 because they weren't getting in the way and people were using them.  However, if you're concerned about efficiency at all then they are the wrong tool to use.
