Chris, I've used this method and it is quite nice. I have a question. if I add another web page to the bookmark bar, will it take the first position and move the others down a number? If so, is there a way I can reposition the bookmarks so the one I use the most keeps the short cut command 1?

Another handy bit is that any bookmarks you store in the bookmarks bar can be fired up just by hitting command-# where the number is the order which the bookmark is in the bar list. So my most commonly used sites are in the bookmark bar slots 1-5. To get to the first item at any time in Safari I just hit command-1 and I'm there.

Second to access a bookmark, I interact with the url in the table and use VO-shift-m to bring up the contextual menu. THen you can select the action you wish. As far as the menu bar, you could use a hot spot which is VO-shift-a number 1-9 and you can remove this hot spot with the same steps and to go to that hot spot, you simply press VO-number where number is 1-9. hth, On Feb 3, 2010, at 9:41 AM, Amber Pearcy wrote: Good morning listers, As you can see from the subject line, I have several questions for all of you today. I'll start with the questions about bookmarks and top sites. I have been trying to figure out the difference and functions of both of these two components of Safari for several months now, but I can't seem to make much headway. Is top sites only meant to be a temporary list of the most recently visited sites, or does it actually store bookmarks permanently? I was under the impression that I could store my bookmarks there permanently, but often, when I try to find a specific bookmark, it isn't in that list. In regards to the actual bookmarks section of the browser, I have never been successful opening the bookmarks that I have saved there. I have tried VO space, clicking with VO Shift space and double clicking. I think I have even searched in vain for a contextual menu. Therefore, I resorted to saving everything in top sites, but now, even this doesn't seem to be working well. Concerning the tool bars, if I know that there is a tool bark at the top of a web page or in a particular program, is there a shortcut or VO command that will take me to the tool bar from anywhere in the program or on the web page? Thanks in advance for your help. Peace, Amber -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
