Hello Alfredo,

Yes, you can have a bookmark folder that you create appear on the Safari bookmarks bar, if you have your browser set to display this. The fastest way to create a folder on the Bookmarks Bar, assuming you start with a completely empty setup, would be to press Command-Option- B to "Show All Bookmarks", then to navigate to the "Bookmarks Bar". You can use item chooser (VO-I) to go to "Bookmarks Bar" in the table of bookmark collections. (Note: there's both a "Bookmarks Bar" and a "Bookmarks Menu" in the table.) Then, tab past the "search text field" to the table that lists contents of your selected bookmark collection and interact. Create a new folder with Command-Shift-N. After you've created your folders and bookmarks, use Command-Option-B again to "Hide All Bookmarks" -- that key sequence is a toggle. It's also the first command in the "Bookmarks" menu on the menu bar, if you use the menu bar instead of keyboard shortcuts. You'll also find the commands to "Add Bookmark" (Command-D) and "Add Bookmark Folder" (Command-Shift- N) if you arrow down through the Bookmarks menu on the Safari menu bar. To add the present page as a bookmark, use Command-D, and then type in a name (or use the default) in the dialog window. VO-Space on the pop up button for where to save the bookmark, and select the "Bookmarks Bar". General bookmarks management, searching, etc. is done by toggling on "Show All Bookmarks", which shows you a special web page for managing your bookmarks. The reason for not simply using Command-Shift-N to create a new folder is that it creates a new folder of bookmarks in your bookmark collections -- it does NOT create a folder under the Bookmarks bar, which is what you were asking for. You have to navigate to select the folder you want in the bookmarks collection in order to create subfolders there.

To read more about bookmarks and there organization, you can read my post from last month in response to a question about moving and deleting bookmarks:
