 +==== Bookmarks ==== 
 + 
 +If you want to import bookmarks I've made some notes on the syntax of the special [[html]] file: [[file_kinds#bookmarks|file_kinds§bookmarks]]. 
 + 
 +Handy if you want to make the list by hand, or made a script to convert from different formats or whatever. Figuring this out so I can import bookmarks exported from [[mastodon]]. 
 + 
 +This same format also works in [[Chrome]] and other browsers. 
 + 
 +==== Keyboard Shortcuts ==== 
 + 
 +^ Address bar | ''Ctrl+L''
 +^ Bookmark | ''Ctrl+D''
 + 
 +==== Keywords ==== 
 + 
 +If you add //keywords// to your bookmarks, you can also go straight to those pages by typing the keyword. 
 + 
 +You can also use these for [[duckduckgo#Bangs|bang]]-like searches by bookmarking a site's search page/results and using ''%s'' to indicate where search terms go.

 +Firefox has dropped support for [[RSS]], it doesn't even render feeds anymore. You can re-add support with plugins, plus add some other useful features:
 +
 +  * I use [[ffaddon>feed-preview]] to get the old RSS functions back. It renders previews of feeds, and puts an icon in the address bar when feeds are present. There are other add-ons that do the same thing.
 +  * I use [[ffaddon>youtube-rss-finder]] to make it easier to get feed links for [[Youtube]]. Like Feed Preview, it puts an icon in the address bar.
