Feature Request: Collapse grandparent/parent/child folder path to shown bookmark using left arrow key

[Muddy7]

In the Firefox Bookmarks sidepane, I can easily collapse the opened grandparent/parent/child folder path of a selected bookmark by repeat-clicking the left arrow key. This performs the actions of go to folder/close folder/go to parent folder/close parent folder/go to grandparent folder/close grandparent folder etc. Equally I can also easily use the right arrow and the down arrow to open a folder and then its child folder etc. and then to navigate the contents of that folder. These actions make it relatively effortless for me to navigate Firefox Bookmarks. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be possible in BSP2 (maybe because of coding limitations in FF Quantum, in which case this Feature Request is in vain).

At the moment, after just 2 days of using BSP2 (which I love!), this is the one key feature that I miss. This means that after searching and going to a searched bookmark, the only quick way I can find to collapse the folder path is by closing and reopening BSP2. A little more cumbersome for me than some, as I am already using the assigned open/close BSP2 hotkey Ctrl+Q in the particular setup of my devices.

If this Feature Request is not possible or is deemed too time-consuming regarding coding to be viable, an alternative solution might be to add to the Options page the possibility of manually setting the open/close BSP2 hotkey to Ctrl+another key.

Brilliant! Thanks a million!!

...tho' I see now I can collapse the path by simply pressing Esc. All the same, this will certainly be a welcome enhancement, making it easier to use just BSP2 for regular bookmark navigation without having to toggle so often between BSP2 and FF bookmarks.

Yes, a welcome enhancement (and a lightning response!!) :-))

Not sure what you mean by that ? Esc does nothing as I can see on the native Bookmark sidebar (except close the context menu). Or am I missing something ?

[Muddy7]

Not on the native bookmark sidebar but on yours (BSP2). Apologies for my lack of clarity.

Btw I've recommended your add-on on my AV Community Forum.

Thank you, I registered there if anybody has something to say (although it is best to come here on GitHub).

I didn't know about Webroot, I'll keep an eye on it, even if I do believe that without a firewall and an HIPS, an antivirus is only a half solution for controlling what is going on on our computer(s) ..

Anyway, this is a truly interesting community. I like a lot the post about password constraints https://www.webroot.com/blog/2018/11/05/password-constraints-unintended-security-consequences/ .. this is so true !!

It does have a firewall (it uses Windows for its inbound firewall as it believes it can't beat it, and it has its own outbound firewall); and, as I understand it (I am admittedly no IT expert :-( ), it does have its own kind of HIPS, Webroot being at its heart a behaviour blocker. For what it's worth, here is my personal story with Webroot.

What is now Webroot SecureAnywhere began as an innovative approach to AV technology by a small British firm, Prevx, in the early early noughties which was acquired by Webroot in late 2010.

2.0.45 is out ... let me know if this is working ok or if something is wrong.
I also added keyboard navigation in the search result pane, to continue o,n #46
