Legend

  • select: means that the cursor is set on the item, and any key action will go to it (like Del for item delete, Enter to activate the default action which is open the bookmark in current tab, arrow up or arrow down for moving the cursor by one ...) as long as it keeps the keyboard focus.
    • When the selected item is in the search pane, there is no move / show in the bookmark pane.
  • show: means that the original item will be made visible in the bookmark pane, by opening necessary folders and scrolling it into view.

(*) If the object is a folder, this switches between open / closed instead

(**) If the object is a folder, and the "Only 1 open folder at a time .." option is set, this forces sibbling folders to stay open and to ignore the option (since 2.0.119)

(***) If BSP2 is running in a tab, "open in cur tab" is not acted, except when forced with Alt, to avoid losing the BSP2 page (since 2.0.87)

(**) Actually, shift+right click shows the FF default right click context menu, this cannot be modified by any add-on or javascript .. Could not find a way to prevent it so far, this appears to be a feature of FF to avoid add-ons completely obscuring / preventing access to FF native functions, as a safety measure
