add option to change keyword from "bm" #4

Please add an option to let users change the activation keyword from "bm" to something else. It would help to eliminate conflicts with other extensions or user-defined search engines. It would also allow users to pick a keyword that's more comfortable for them. (Why would anybody want to change it? Have you ever searched Google for "bm"? 😉)

That is not possible. It is a limitation of Chrome. . It has to be changed in the manifest directly, which means you'll have to download the source, modify it, then load the unpacked extension via the developer option.

See #3

Too bad. I just tested what would happen if there was a pre-existing search engine with the keyword "bm". The pre-existing one will be used, not Bookmark Search.
