Been a while since I changed my commonly used bookmarks bar. New bookmarks are added to the beginning so it shift everything over by one. That means your #1 slot becomes the most recently bookmarked item and you'll find your old #1 is now in the #2 slot. Easiest way I've found to rearrange is to open up the Show All Bookmarks with command-option-b, navigate to the bookmarks bar and then to the table listing the items in the bookmarks bar. From there you can highlight the bookmark you want to move, cut it, move to where you want it to be and paste it. CB Linda Adams wrote: Chris, I've used this method and it is quite nice. I have a question. if I add another web page to the bookmark bar, will it take the first position and move the others down a number? If so, is there a way I can reposition the bookmarks so the one I use the most keeps the short cut command 1?

So my most commonly used sites are in the bookmark bar slots 1-5. To get to the first item at any time in Safari I just hit command-1 and I'm there.

Second to access a bookmark, I interact with the url in the table and use VO-shift-m to bring up the contextual menu. THen you can select the action you wish. As far as the menu bar, you could use a hot spot which is VO-shift-a number 1-9 and you can remove this hot spot with the same steps and to go to that hot spot, you simply press VO-number where number is 1-9. hth, On Feb 3, 2010, at 9:41 AM, Amber Pearcy wrote: Good morning listers, As you can see from the subject line, I have several questions for all of you today. I'll start with the questions about bookmarks and top sites. I have been trying to figure out the difference and functions of both of these two components of Safari for several months now, but I can't seem to make much headway. Is top sites only meant to be a temporary list of the most recently visited sites, or does it actually store bookmarks permanently? I was under the impression that I could store my bookmarks there permanently, but often, when I try to find a specific bookmark, it isn't in that list. In regards to the actual bookmarks section of the browser, I have never been successful opening the bookmarks that I have saved there. I have tried VO space, clicking with VO Shift space and double clicking. I think I have even searched in vain for a contextual menu. Therefore, I resorted to saving everything in top sites, but now, even this doesn't seem to be working well. Concerning the tool bars, if I know that there is a tool bark at the top of a web page or in a particular program, is there a shortcut or VO command that will take me to the tool bar from anywhere in the program or on the web page? Thanks in advance for your help. Peace, Amber -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
