Shortcuts (short names) for bookmarks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you add bookmarks short names feature as in ff/opera? It might be edit box 
in bookmark 
adding dialog.

By example, in FF i can write 'sd' in address bar and browser will open 
'http://slashdot.org' for 
me.

This can be done by implementing a LocationHandler like 
SearchEngineLocationHandler.

I use this feature heavily in other browsers (for easy access to information 
sources by a keyword: various 
dictionaries, wikipedia, ...) and Aurora is 50% less suitable for me than 
Konqeror/FF because of this very 
issue. Would be nice to know whether this feature is going to be implemented 
and, if so, when.
Thanks.

Can you provide a link to documentation for this feature in Firefox?  I tried 
to find how to set sd to slashdot in 
my firefox, but was unable to figure it out.

Sure, take a look at this: http://lifehacker.com/software/bookmarks/hack-attack-
firefox-and-the-art-of-keyword-bookmarking-196779.php

Note that it supports sprintf-like syntax to insert custom params into the URL.
E.g. you type "w foo", hit Enter and the browser opens the URL "http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo".

Konqueror has much more flexible and elegant (imho) solution so would be great 
if 
it's considered too =)

This is quite identical to the search engines, where you're able to add a 
keyword for a search engine. 
Add "gg" to Google and "gg Arora" searches Arora at Google. 

The benefit for this issue, is you're able to add any page, any keyword, any 
form: what you want. 
Firefox has e.g. the ability to right-click at a text-input element and say 
"Create bookmark". Let's say 
you do this for the Arora issue list here at Google Code (top of the page, 
inside the blue bar) and call it 
"arora". Type "arora bookmarks" in the addressbar and you're going to the url 
http://code.google.com/p/arora/issues/list?q=bookmarks immediately!

I think this is very useful, especially because the Arora searchbox behind the 
address bar supports 
only opensearch declarations. So a very custom search is only possible with 
this shortcut bookmarks 
feature :)
