Bug ID: 376606
Summary: Wish: Make bookmark menu more clear
Product: krusader
Version: 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: m...@fork.pl

Target Milestone: ---
Bookmark menu (invoked by Ctrl+D) is quite useful thing.
It's especially useful because it allows to assign a mnemonic key to a bookmark
by giving it a title like "&Desktop", "&Work" or "Ente&rtainment" so that
pressing Ctrl+D, {D,W,R} goes to the specific folder (first Ctrl+D opens the
bookmarks menu, second key activates a specific item within it). Such way is
more handy than assigning explicit shortcut to a bookmark because:
* allows reusing the same Ctrl+D key as initial for shortcut sequence (which is
quite intuitive);
* allows possible bookmarks/shortcuts to appear visually when initial key of
the shortcut sequence is triggered;
* allows assigning shortcuts in one step (just by entering "&Desktop": instead
of first creating "Desktop" bookmark and then searching for it within
"Configure Shortcuts" dialog.
Still, the problem is that the predefined items of the bookmarks menu (i.e.:
&Trash bin, &Local Network, &Virtual Filesystem, J&ump back, &Set Jump Back
Point, Bookmark Current, Manage Bookmarks) may conflict with user-assigned
mnemonics, thus reducing set of available mnemonics to more limited range).
I propose one or more of the following:
1. Logically: to make priority of user bookmark mnemonics higher that priority
of predefined bookmark menu items. Technically: if one of user bookmarks uses
&u mnemonic, then "J&ump back" should appear as "Jump back". It can be checked
when popping up the menu.
2. To reorganize predefined bookmark menu items by putting (some of) them into
submenus. This will not only allow more mnemonics, but also make menu more
visually clean and provide more visual space for user-defined items. Proposed
structure:
* User bookmark 1
* User bookmark 2
* …
* Predefined places:
** &Trash bin
** &Local Network
** &Virtual Filesystem
* Popular URLs:
** …
* Other:
** Bookmark Current
** Manage Bookmarks
** Set Jump Back Point
** Jump Back
3. Make &Trash bin, &Local Network, &Virtual Filesystem to be predefined
(default) bookmarks themselves, not just items within the bookmark menu. So
that user can remove them, if he don't likes or move them into folder. The
"Manage Bookmarks" dialog may also have a "Reinsert all default bookmarks here"
command (not really necessary).
Thanks!
