Minimal is designed for keyboard-first productivity. Master these shortcuts to manage bookmarks faster.

​
Global Shortcuts

These shortcuts work throughout the application:
ShortcutActionContext
↑Navigate upMove selection to previous bookmark
↓Navigate downMove selection to next bookmark
EnterOpen bookmarkOpens URL or copies text/color
EscapeExit modeExit selection mode or cancel editing

​
Arrow Navigation

Navigate through bookmarks without touching the mouse:
  • ArrowDown - Move selection down one bookmark
  • ArrowUp - Move selection up one bookmark
  • Selection wraps at the top and bottom of the list
  • Visual highlight shows the currently selected bookmark
if (e.key === "ArrowDown") {
  e.preventDefault();
  setSelectedIndex((prev) => Math.min(prev + 1, bookmarks.length - 1));
}
if (e.key === "ArrowUp") {
  e.preventDefault();
  setSelectedIndex((prev) => Math.max(prev - 1, -1));
}

​
Bookmark Actions

These shortcuts work when a bookmark is selected or hovered:
ShortcutActionDetails
⌘CCopyCopies URL, color value, or text to clipboard
⌘ERenameStart editing the bookmark title
⌘⌫DeletePermanently delete the bookmark
⌘EnterOpenOpens the bookmark (shown as hint on hover)
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of ⌘ (Command).

​
Copy Shortcut

The ⌘C shortcut intelligently copies the right content: 
if ((e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey) && e.key === "c") {
  e.preventDefault();
  const textToCopy = activeBookmark.url || 
                     activeBookmark.color || 
                     activeBookmark.title;
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(textToCopy ?? "");
}

​
Rename Shortcut

Quickly edit bookmark titles:
  1. Select or hover over a bookmark
  2. Press ⌘E
  3. Edit the title inline
  4. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel

​
Delete Shortcut

Instantly remove bookmarks:
  • Press ⌘⌫ (Command + Delete/Backspace)
  • No confirmation dialog - be careful!
  • Use selection mode for bulk deletion with confirmation

​
Selection Mode

When in selection mode (selecting multiple bookmarks):
ShortcutActionDetails
SpaceToggle selectionSelect/deselect the focused bookmark
⌘ASelect allSelect all bookmarks in current group
EscapeExitExit selection mode and clear selections

​
Space to Select

While in selection mode: 
if (e.key === " " && inSelectionMode) {
  e.preventDefault();
  handleToggleSelection(activeBookmark.id);
}

​
Select All

Quickly select every bookmark: 
if ((e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey) && e.key === "a" && inSelectionMode) {
  e.preventDefault();
  handleSelectAll(); // Selects all filtered bookmarks
}

​
Editing Shortcuts

When editing a bookmark title:
ShortcutActionDetails
EnterSaveSaves the new title and exits edit mode
EscapeCancelDiscards changes and exits edit mode
onKeyDown={(e) => {
  if (e.key === "Enter") handleFinishRename(bookmark.id);
  if (e.key === "Escape") {
    onFinishRename();
    setEditValue("");
  }
}}

​
Context Menu Hints

Keyboard shortcuts are displayed in context menus:
  • Right-click any bookmark to see available actions
  • Shortcuts appear on the right side of each menu item
  • Visual Kbd components show the exact keys to press
<ContextMenuItem>
  <IconCopy className="mr-2 h-4 w-4" />
  <span>Copy</span>
  <KbdGroup className="ml-auto">
    <Kbd>⌘</Kbd>
    <Kbd>C</Kbd>
  </KbdGroup>
</ContextMenuItem>

​
Hover Hints

When you hover over a bookmark, ⌘Enter is displayed as a hint: 
{(selectedIndex === index || hoveredIndex === index) && !renamingId ? (
  <KbdGroup>
    <Kbd>⌘</Kbd>
    <Kbd>Enter</Kbd>
  </KbdGroup>
) : null}

​
Focus Management

Shortcuts respect input focus:
  • When the search input is focused, only ⌘ shortcuts work
  • Arrow keys navigate bookmarks only when input is not focused
  • This prevents interference with normal typing
if (document.activeElement === inputRef.current) {
  return; // Don't handle shortcuts when input is focused
}

​
Active Element Detection

Shortcuts use smart detection for the active bookmark: 
const activeIndex = hoveredIndex >= 0 
  ? hoveredIndex 
  : selectedIndex;
This means shortcuts work for:
  • The bookmark you’re hovering over (mouse)
  • The bookmark you’ve navigated to (keyboard)

Tips for Power Users

1

Never Touch the Mouse

Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to open, and ⌘C to copy. You can manage bookmarks entirely from the keyboard.
2

Rapid Deletion

Navigate with arrows, press ⌘⌫ to delete. Repeat for multiple items. Much faster than right-clicking.
3

Bulk Operations

Right-click → Select Multiple, then use Space to toggle selections as you navigate with arrows.
4

Quick Editing

Hover and press ⌘E to instantly edit. Press Enter to save. No clicks needed.
