Hi Esther, Ricardo, This is wonderful, as always. Thank you so much. This has been a pain since I got my mac a year ago. All is clear now. Paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: Esther To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 12:48 PM Subject: Re: safari bookmarks
Hi Paul, Ricardo has given you the quick answer to using bookmarks. You can read a more detailed description about general navigation of your bookmarks in my archived post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg21962.html (Re: moving and deleting bookmarks) I'll just briefly remark here that there is a general page for your bookmarks that you access with Command-Option-B, which is the shortcut for the "Show All Bookmarks" entry in Safari's Bookmarks menu. You'll greatly simplify your navigation of that page, and improve your understanding of its organization if you first hide your toolbar, bookmarks bar, and tab bar -- all options that toggle between show and hide with shortcuts listed in the View Menu on the menu bar (Command-Shift-Backslash, Command-Shift-B, Command-Shift-T). At that point, after you interact with the scroll area, pressing tab will move you between three areas: a table of different collections of bookmarks such as your navigation history, your Bookmarks Bar, your Bookmarks Menu, and any folders you may have created to organize your bookmarks on this page; a search text field that you can also move to directly with Command-F, and a table listing individual bookmarks in your selected bookmark collection by bookmark name and address. The general action will be to interact with the table of collections and select a bookmark collection or folder and then to tab to the table listing the individual bookmark entries and interact, then navigate to the bookmark of interest and activate it by pressing space bar. You can also reduce the list of entries to navigate through in that second table by using the search field to type in Bookmark names or parts of bookmark names, and then only matching entries will be shown in the second table. The usual navigation options of typing the first few letters in the name of a bookmark to move to it and/or using your up and down arrow keys will work here. There are also context menu options for editing bookmark name or address, copying or deleting, etc. As Ricardo mentioned, the first nine bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks Bar on your Bookmarks page have the special property that they can be launched by pressing the Command key together with the number of the bookmark. (You can hide your bookmarks bar and still activate the first nine bookmarks by pressing Command and the number from 1 to 9 for the bookmark you want.) However, note that whenever you save a new bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar, it becomes bookmark number 1, and displaces the previous first bookmark, which is now number 2, etc. HTH.

From here you can select to save the page to the bookmarks menu or, the booksmarks bar. The bar allows you to press command plus a corresponding number to bring up the site. hth Sent from my iPhone On Aug 31, 2010, at 4:53 AM, "Paul Erkens" <paul.erk...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi list, What is the simplest way of setting a bookmark for a page that you want to return to later on?
