Quickly Access Safari Bookmarks Bar

The bookmarks bar has become a necessary item on my web browser for the greater part of my computing career (including that barbaric pre-mac period I don’t like speaking of :)). I’ve found it’s the quickest way to access websites you visit regularly.

If your unsure what a bookmarks bar is, here’s a screenshot of mine:

Recently I learned that in Safari, you can access these bookmarks even easier by pressing Command+[1-9] .

For example, pressing Command+1 would launch Gmail, Command+2 would launch MacTips, etc…

I’ve noticed that this doesn’t seem to work with folders, even when you turn “Auto-Click” on.

Just checked this in Firefox, and in Firefox the same keys (Command + [1-x]) take you to the Firefox tab of that number. August 12th, 2005 at 2:52 pm
