You can set and go to these bookmarks using your keyboard or your mouse. When Dirkey is active you can press Ctrl+Alt+0..9 in e.g. an Open/Save File dialog and a bookmark will be set on the current folder. You can go to any bookmarked folder by using Ctrl+0..9 in the same or another supported window. All bookmarks are global and are preserved when you turn your computer off. You can also open bookmarked folders in a new Explorer window. It would be a very nice feature for KDE, too. Last edited by bcooksley on Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:26 am, edited 1 time in total.

In open/save dialogs too? You can use places sidebar, might be it is worth to add a access to "regular" bookmarks? Like by auto adding Favorites folder containing shortcuts to real folders. It would be easy to do, just add shortcuts to ./kde4/shortcuts folder when adding bookmark When add that folder to "places"
NoobSaibot Registered Member Posts 73 Karma 0 OS	RE: [KHotKeys] Directory shortcuts Tue Jun 23, 2009 11:18 am see this idea. to expand on it, not only dolphin should be able to use those alias names, but every file dialog as well. NoobSaibot, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.

Quad Registered Member Posts 2 Karma 0	RE: [KHotKeys] Directory shortcuts Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:56 pm As distinct from Dolphin "Places" or bookmarks, Dirkey uses temporary shortcuts. A little sample: In Kate's save dialog you go into any directory, press CTRL+Shift+0 (e.g.). Now you starts Dolphin, press CTRL+0 and Dolphin changes directory to the selected one, defined in Kates save dialog. Its easier as any bookmark.
