I don’t know if it’s just me but I can’t seem to use the bookmarking keyboard shortcuts.
When I bookmark using f, I get stuck here
and the shortcuts don’t work.
Am I supposed to do anything before before the shortcuts can be used?

Try using `b` instead of `f` for the bookmark shortcut. If I remember correctly `f` had given problems in the past. There was a time when one had to press TAB to get out of the Bookmark menu itself to use the keyboard shortcuts I believe. I’m a bit fuzzy on that that though.

Thanks for the tip! Tried using b but the same thing happens. Cursor appears at the text field and I have to use Tab to use the shortcuts.
I thought it was just my browser setup but the same thing happens on Chrome and Safari.
