Keyboard shortcuts and accessibility

not24get is built to be driven from the keyboard. The bookmark hub publishes a small set of cross-platform shortcuts that work the same way on macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS.

Hub shortcuts

ActionmacOSWindows / Linux / Chrome OS
Save the current page as a bookmark+SCtrl+S
Focus the bookmark search input+KCtrl+K

Both shortcuts are registered in capture phase, so they take precedence over the browser's default behaviour (the browser's "Save Page As" dialog and find-in-page bar will not appear).

  • Pressing the Save chord opens the New bookmark dialog pre-filled with the current page.
  • While you are typing in a regular text input or contenteditable element, the chord is deferred so it does not interrupt your typing. The bookmark search input and the inline new-workspace input are exceptions — the chord still works there.
  • The chord is ignored during IME composition (e.g. typing Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) and on Windows AltGr key combinations.
  • Holding the keys does not repeat the action; only the first key-down triggers it.

Search behaviour

  • Pressing the Search chord moves keyboard focus to the bookmark search field at the top of the hub. It works from any context inside the hub, including form fields.
  • Press Esc to clear the active search and return focus to the previous element.

Accessibility behaviour

not24get follows web accessibility conventions throughout the bookmark hub:

  • Focus order — every interactive control is reachable with Tab and Shift+Tab. The order matches the visual layout left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
  • ARIA labels — toolbar buttons, sidebar resize handles, folder controls, the bookmark search input, and clear-tag buttons all expose descriptive aria-label text for screen readers.
  • Live region announcements — search-result counts, selection changes, and folder-action confirmations are announced through an off-screen live region so screen readers stay in sync with on-screen state.
  • Modal dialogs — every dialog (share folder, new bookmark, Web MCP connect, etc.) is rendered via an accessible surface that traps focus while open, restores focus on close, and is dismissable with Esc.
  • Keyboard-only operation — every action available via mouse or touch can also be performed from the keyboard. Right-click menus on folders are mirrored by an action button reachable with Tab.
  • Persistent layout — the workspace sidebar can be resized with the keyboard (focus the resize handle, then use the arrow keys). Width and folder collapse state are preserved across sessions.

Shortcuts in dialogs

Most dialogs respond to the standard browser shortcuts:

ActionShortcut
Submit the dialog formEnter
Save the new bookmark form (when focus is in a text field)+Enter or Ctrl+Enter
Cancel and close the dialogEsc
Move between fieldsTab / Shift+Tab

Reporting an accessibility issue

If a control is not reachable from the keyboard, an announcement is missing, or a colour combination fails contrast for you, send a report from Help → Send feedback with the page URL and what you expected. We treat accessibility regressions as bugs, not enhancements.
