Firefox's Custom Keywords and Drupal

If you’ve delved into some of the enhanced bookmarking magic in Firefox, you know that entering the world of the Organize Bookmarks tool provides some additional options in how you save your bookmarks.
Custom Keywords are really neat. I use them for Drupal reference all the time. It’s my preferred method for bouncing around CVS, the API, and issue queues. Typing “d6 hook_nodeapi” to double check the ops is very nice. Typing “dcm og” to start researching how og access control works save a page load.
Attached is a drupal-bookmarks.html file that will get you a leg up on the boring process of creating these bookmarks.
It includes Drupal Project, Drupal Project Issues, Drupal Project Usage, Drupal CVS Modules, Drupal CVS Core, Drupal Site search, Drupal 6 API lookup, and Drupal 7 API lookup.
(You can create something similar in Chrome, but it’s not done through bookmarks. Setting up Custom Search Engines is very similar, and I don’t see an easy mechanism for exportables.)
Opera Spanks.

Doing this with Opera is easier than with Firefox.
And it can be done through bookmarks or Custom Search Engine.
They can be exported, imported or wathever,
This looks really useful. Is

Should have added instructions...
grayside — Wed, 06/16/2010 - 09:05I attached the file with that in mind. You may need to strip off the ‘.txt’ from the end of the file to make it work. Firefox has a built in Bookmarks Import, just run that against the file and it should merge these bookmarks in… somewhere.
I exported the “Default Searches” directory in which I saved the bookmarks, but it probably won’t merge in with the default Default Searches directory.
