Ok Here is where I have got to with managing bookmark folders on the Mac with Safari. I have not yet cracked getting the folders to appear in he actual bookmark menu but apparently this is possible. The instructions for sighted users do not appear to work with Voiceover though.
However this works for me and apparently others find Safari bookmark organisation unintuitive so here is what is working for me so far. If anybody has better suggestions then please make them. Step 1. Create your bookmark folders. The easiest way to do this I have found is to simply press shift command N. You will get a untitled folder dialogue. simply press return to edit this into something more meaningful. Step 2 Having created your bookmark folder navigate to the page you want to add to the bookmark folder. Press command D for delta to add bookmark. Now press shift tab until you here a bookmark folder pop up button. VO space to open this up and locate the folder you have created . Select this and then tab forward until you hear add bookmark button. You will now have a bookmark in a bookmark folder. Step 3 To access your bookmark folders and bookmarks do the following llowing. Press option command B for bookmark. Voiceover will say navigation frame. Press shift tab and you will be on your list of bookmark folders which you can voiceover up and down to select which one you want. Once you are on on the bookmark folder you press tab twice. The first tab press will land you on search and the second press will land you on the list of bookmarks in the folder you have just selected. You then have to bring up the Vo context menu to select open the bookmark will open. VO Space only appears to allow editing of the bookmark name. This is a slightly convoluted method of organising and accessing bookmarks into folders but it works. . It is a little clunky as a method as what we are doing is accessing bookmark folders using the organisation interface. The element which is missing is the ability to transfer these created bookmark folders onto the main bookmark menu where they can be open as sub menus which would be more smooth. This is possible but when I try to follow the instructions for sighted users Voiceover says location may be hidden when I try to drop the folder into the main bookmark menu folder. So if anybody knows how to crack this final step I would be very grateful to hear.
