Usage

Bookmarker has a plethora of features! The best way to explore them is by watching this screencast:

Bookmarking selected layers and assigning shortcuts

Bookmark layers with default options:

1. Select one or several layers you want to bookmark.
2. Hit Control-Shift-[0..9] to bookmark them, where [0..9] is a numeric key and a slot number you want to assign the created shortcut to.

In case the shortcut is taken by the existing bookmark, it will be re-assigned to a new one and the previously assigned bookmark will be automatically discarded.

To bookmark layers and configure the created bookmark:

1. Select one or several layers you want to bookmark.
2. Hit Control-Shift-Option-[0..9]
3. Setup bookmark name and actions.
4. Click OK button, or hit Enter.

Auto-Bookmarking selected layers

There is a handy command for bookmarking selected layers and get the created bookmarks auto-assigned with Control-[0..9] shortcuts:

1. Select one or several layers you want to bookmark.
2. Hit Control-B to bookmark them.

If you want to use auto-bookmarking command and configure the created bookmark, use the following workflow:

1. Select one or several layer.
2. Hit Control-Shift-Option-B.
3. Setup bookmark name and actions.

In case there is an empty slot in Control-[0..9] shortcuts set, the first empty shortcut will be auto assigned to the created bookmark. Otherwise it will have no assigned shortcut.
