Did I bookmarked this page yet?!! (Part 2)

, ,

Back in 2008, I wrote about the Highlight Bookmark star & some tricks to imitate the original function that was broken & removed. Well, after so many years Opera developers finally fixed that broken function! Now, we can resurrect that long lost star back to it's former glory. yes

A. Buttons
Since the star icon is removed from Opera 10.6 skin, I replace it with the Top10 icon instead. p
Also, I added 2nd function to these buttons, so pick one that you like most:

Button A: Highlight Bookmark
Hold button to highlight ALL bookmarks with same URL

Button B: Highlight Bookmark
Hold button to highlight ALL bookmarks with same domain


B. Setup Shortcuts
1. First, go to Preferences (Ctrl+F12) > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse/Keyboard Setup.
(& create a new mouse/keyboard setup, if you didn't do that already)

2. Next, double-click on a Mouse/Keyboard setup you want to use, select Application section.

3. Finally, create/modify a shortcut with your preferred MG/Hotkey with the following actions:

Highlight bookmark or Bookmark page (root folder)
Highlight bookmark | Add to bookmarks,1
Highlight bookmark or Bookmark page (last active folder)
Highlight bookmark | Add to bookmarks


C. How It Works?
The button will notify you with Top10 icon if current page is bookmarked, otherwise it will offer Bookmark Page function instead. This is how it looks like in Opera Standard skin:

Heart = Current page is bookmarked, click to highlight the 1st matched URL bookmark.
Bookmark Page= Current page is not bookmarked, click to bookmark current page.

Highlight ALL Bookmarks with same URL = Show all bookmarks with matched URL.
Highlight ALL Bookmarks with same domain = Show all bookmarks with matched domain.

TIPS: Hit ESC twice to clear the highlight ALL result, F4 (or Ctrl+B) to hide the Bookmarks panel.
