Hi, Adrian. When you say that Bookmarks in Chrome is like Favorites in
Internet Explorer, do you know if Bookmarks in Chrome are stored as
shortcuts the way IE stores them, or does Chrome store Bookmarks in a data
file the way Firefox does?
Thank you.

Subject: RE: Chrome and bookmarks/favorites
I can elaborate on this. Note that the term "bookmarks" in Chrome means the
same thing as "favorites" in IE.
First, the fastest way I've found to get to book marks is to press alt,
down arrow once, then press b. From there, as David says, right arrow into
the main bookmarks menu, which includes bookmarks created in Chrome, and
arrow up or down through the options.
However, first-letter navigation through this main bookmarks menu is
risky. When entering this menu, do not press "I." It seems to take me to
the bookmarks bar, which I find inefficient and confusing. This impairs
the value of using bookmarks in this list, at least for me, because I use
first-letter navigation in my IE favorites list all the time.
However, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Chrome makes it very easy to
import IE favorites. In the main bookmarks menu, arrow to "Import book
marks and settings..." Press enter and start tabbing.
Now that I've imported my IE settings, I now arrow down through the main
bookmarks menu to "Imported from IE " to access the favorites/bookmarks
I've created over the years. At that point, right arrow twice to enter the
IE favorites/bookmarks list. First-letter navigation works fine here.
The bookmarks shortcut, control-shift-b, doesn't immediately work, and I'm
confused by what it actually does do. This so-called bar, once I finally
get there, requires tabbing, and first-letter navigation doesn't work.
I've unchecked "Show bookmarks bar" by pressing enter on this main
bookmarks menu item.
Short version: for now, I'll avoid creating bookmarks in Chrome, even
though control-d makes it easy to do, and rely on my imported IE
favorites.

Hi all,
David Moore here. I can tell you now how to work with book marks in
Chrome.
To put a web page in your book marks, press ctrl + D. It is saved right
then. Now, to Look and open your book marks, just press alt and down arrow
through the chrome menu until you hear book marks. Next, press right arrow
to open up your book marks, and just press enter on the one you want to
open
up. I will tell you about other features as I figure them out and some
time
this week, I hope to do an audio tutorial for Chrome. Take care.

Thank you, Ann. Needless to say, it works. However, with IE as my default,
naturally when I click a favorite, IE takes over. I won't make Chrome my
default until various problems are solved. It would be nice to find Chrome
"fully" accessible because it runs much better than the other browsers,
but
I'm not yet convinced. I hope David Moore can address bookmarks and other
issues.

In windows 7, Favorites can be accessed by pressing Windows key, then
tab, then enter, then 'f' or down arrowing to the favorites
list. This should be independent of your browser. So if you just
want one favorite, it might be faster to go that way.

Chrome. As far as he is concerned, Chrome is still not ready yet
for prime time.

Hi.
I can't get favorites, which Chrome calls bookmarks, to work as
quickly as they do in IE. Here's what I've figured out so far. I
hope the gaps can be filled in.
You get to bookmarks by pressing alt for the menu, then arrowing
down. Press enter on bookmarks. Here, I'm told that the shortcut
control-shift-b brings up bookmarks, but that shortcut isn't working
on my system when I'm outside this menu. Each time I have to go
through the menu.
In IE, I press alt-a to bring up my favorites list, and first-letter
navigation works. I can't find anything this simple using Chrome.
One item in the bookmarks submenu allows you to import favorites
settings. I clicked on this, tabbed through the options, and was
told at the end that I was successful. However, nothing seems to
have been imported.
Any ideas?
