Keyboard commands for Safari favorites

We’ve already mentioned a way to fit more bookmarks into Safari’s Bookmarks Bar. Now, try moving a few of your really favorite bookmarks into the first few slots in the bar.

Re-arranging Bookmarks

Safari binds CMD-1 through CMD-9 to the 1st through 9th bookmarks in your bar. So in the above screenshot, typing CMD-2 would invoke my del.icio.us bookmarklet. Note that these keys go with the 1st through 9th individual bookmarks in the bar, so it numerically skips over any folders of bookmarks.

Hint: You could link to your favorite web pages from those slots, but I’d suggest reserving them for the bookmarklets you use all day. Once you’re accustomed to using the keys, you’ll find yourself relying heavily on them as you surf around. Big timesaver.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
