Access Google Chrome Bookmarks with Keyboard Shortcuts

Access Google Chrome Bookmarks with Keyboard Shortcuts

I've searched around, there don't seem to be any built in shortcuts. Is there a way to customize shortcuts with an extension or an extension that is built specifically for accessing bookmarks?

"Ctrl+Shift+B

Opens the Bookmark manager.
Use Tab or the arrow keys to move around and Enter to open the bookmark

Chrome has moved on to in-tab based bookmark manager, so the above step no longer works. To open Bookmarks, hit Ctrl-T to open a new tab, Ctrl-L to move focus to the Omnibox, type in chrome://bookmarks to access the bookmarks page. From there you can use Tab or the arrow keys to move around and Enter to open the bookmark"

"On a Mac:

System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
Plus button
Application = Google Chrome, Menu Title = [bookmark title as it appears in the Bookmarks menu], Keyboard Shortcut = [shortcut]

Or on any OS:

Chrome > Preferences > Manage Search Engines
Add a new ""search engine"" with the URL to bookmark and a keyword.
To open the bookmark type Command-L, keyword, Enter."

"I've been wondering this myself. I haven't found anything which actually solves this, but you can hack it a bit with this extension: chrome.google***/extensions/detail/mgjjeipcdnnjhgodgjpfkffcejoljijf

It unfortunately seems to have some trouble with command-key shortcuts. But that could just be on my system.

Essentially, it lets you create static events for keystrokes. Among others, it can open a webpage (== bookmark) or run javascript (== bookmarklet). Maybe they'll add in bookmark-launching by number eventually, but it's not in there now."
