<h1 tag="marks">Marks</h1>
<toc start="2"/>

<p>
    &dactyl.appName; supports a number of different methods of
    marking your place, in order to easily return later:
</p>

<ul>
    <li><em>Bookmarks</em> are the standard marks of &dactyl.host;, and are fully supported.</li>
    <li><em>QuickMarks</em> allow you to quickly save and return to as many as 62 (a-zA-Z0-9) different web sites with a quick keyboard shortcut.</li>
    <li><em>Local marks</em> allow you to store and return to a position within the current web page.</li>
    <li><em>URL marks</em> allow you to store and return to the position and URL of the current web page.</li>
</ul>

<h2 tag="bookmarks">Bookmarks</h2>

<p>
    Bookmarks are the most traditional kind of marks supported by
    &dactyl.appName;. They are accessible through &dactyl.host;'s
    bookmark menu, sidebar, and toolbar, in addition to its location
    bar completion system. &dactyl.appName; makes them accessible
    not only via several commands and its completion system (see the
    <o>complete</o> option), but also displays a ❤ in the status bar
    when a bookmarked page is displayed.

        <p>Add a bookmark.</p>

        <p>The following options are available:</p>

        <dl dt="width: 8em;">
            <dt>-charset</dt>
            <dd>
                Character encoding to use for the bookmark. Useful e.g. for
                sites that require query parameters in encodings other than
                UTF-8 (short name <em>-c</em>).
            </dd>
            <dt>-id</dt>
            <dd>
                The numerical ID of a bookmark to update.
            </dd>
            <dt>-keyword</dt>
            <dd>
                A keyword which may be used to open the bookmark via
                the URL bar or <ex>:open</ex> prompt. If the
                <oa>url</oa> contains the string <em>%s</em> it is
                replaced by any text following the keyword when it
                is opened. See also <k>;S</k>.
                (short name <em>-k</em>)
            </dd>
            <dt>-post</dt>
            <dd>
                Data to be POSTed to the server when the bookmark is
                opened.
            </dd>
            <dt>-tags</dt>
            <dd>
                Comma-separated list of tags for grouping and later
                access (short name <em>-T</em>).
            </dd>
            <dt>-title</dt>
            <dd>
                The title of the bookmark.
                Defaults to the page title, if available, or
                <oa>url</oa> otherwise.
                (short name <em>-t</em>)
            </dd>
        </dl>

        <p>
            If <oa>url</oa> is omitted, the URL of the currently loaded web
            page is used.
        </p>

        <p>
            If <oa>!</oa> is present, a new bookmark is always
            added. Otherwise, the first bookmark matching
            <oa>id</oa>, <oa>keyword</oa>, or <oa>url</oa> is updated.
        </p>

        <p>
            Toggle bookmarked state of current URL. Add/remove a
            bookmark for the current location, depending on whether
            it is already bookmarked. New bookmarks are placed in
            the <em>Unfiled Bookmarks</em> folder, and don't appear
            in the bookmarks menu or toolbar, but do appear in
            location bar and <em>:open</em> completions, as well as
            the <em>:bmarks</em> list.

        <p>
            List or open multiple bookmarks. Opens the message window at the
            bottom of the screen with all bookmarks with URLs matching
            <oa>filter</oa>. The resulting URLs can be clicked, or accessed via
            extended hint modes such as <k>;o</k>.
        </p>

        <p>
            The special version <ex>:bmarks!</ex> works the same as
            <ex>:bmarks</ex> except that it opens all matching
            bookmarks in new tabs rather than listing them.
        </p>

        <p>The bookmarks may also be filtered via the following options:</p>

        <dl dt="width: 8em;">
            <dt>-keyword</dt>
            <dd>
                The bookmark's keyword (short name <em>-k</em>).
            </dd>
            <dt>-tags</dt>
            <dd>
                A comma-separated list of tags, all of which must be
                present for a match (short name <em>-T</em>).
            </dd>
            <dt>-title</dt>
            <dd>
                The title of the bookmark (short name <em>-t</em>).
            </dd>
            <dt>-max</dt>
            <dd>
                The maximum number of items to list or open
                (short name <em>-m</em>).
            </dd>

        <p>
            Deletes <em>all</em> bookmarks which match <oa>url</oa>.
            If omitted, <oa>url</oa> defaults to the URL of the
            current buffer.
        </p>

        <p>Accepts the same options as :bmarks.</p>

<h2 tag="quickmarks">QuickMarks</h2>

<p>
    QuickMarks are bookmarks stripped to the bone for quickly getting to the
    pages that you visit most. A QuickMark is simply a URL assigned to a letter
    or digit. They can therefore be saved or opened with only three key
    presses each. QuickMarks are persistent across browser sessions.

<h2 tag="urlmarks localmarks">Local marks and URL marks</h2>

<p>
    Local and URL marks allow you to mark your position on the current page to
    quickly return later. Each mark is assigned to a letter. Lowercase letters
    behave as local marks, while uppercase letters act as URL marks. The
    difference between the two is that local marks apply uniquely to each page,
    while URL marks mark a specific position on a specific page. So, while the
    mark <em>m</em> may take you to the top of the page on Site 1, it may take
    you to the middle on Site 2. The mark <em>M</em>, on the other hand, will
    always return you to Site 1, possibly switching buffers or creating a new
    one. All marks are persistent across browser sessions.
