At some point I found that a way to quickly open the bookmarklet without having to grab a mouse and click a bookmark is a nice thing to have. Both Firefox and Chrome(-based browsers) have a way to do this, but unfortunately both require manual adjustments to allow this. collapsed expanded

I.e. I configured @buku as the bookmarklet keyword; then by switching to the Location Bar (Ctrl+L), typing @ and pressing Down, I basically have a hotkey for the bookmarklet (this is in Chrome). access with keyword

Firefox implements custom keywords differently and doesn't include them in suggestions, so I have to type the whole keyword… Then again, nothing really stops me from setting the keyword to just @ :slightly_smiling_face:

…Also simplified the bookmarklet thing a bit (I wanted to reuse it for automated addition, but that avenue turned out to be a dud).
