Set aliases for your bookmarks. Aliases are called from the omnibox: "/ aliasName [params]" and from the popup (ctrl+.)

Description from store
This extension mimics the ability of Firefox and mozilla based browsers to use aliases as a shortcut to call specific bookmarks.
It allows you to set alias/shortcut for your URL or javascript bookmarklets or folders, directly in the bookmark manager. You can then call an alias from chrome's omnibox or from the extension's popup window (keyboard shortcut: "ctrl+.").
Simple "http(s)" bookmarks as well as javascript bookmarklets can be called with or without parameters.
If it works as a bookmark, it works as an alias.
Since your aliases are stored with your bookmarks, exporting or transfering them also tranfers the aliases.
Starting with version 0.9.6.15, folder alias is available. It can be used to open static pages, or to make a group search on multiple search sites (examples provided).
Version 0.9.8 introduces auto-completion in popup window (see options page to enable).

- (2020-09-22, v:0.9.8) Jon Schneider: URL Bar remains focused after entering alias
Hi, I love this extension. Unfortunately, I've recently noticed a bug. After typing an alias into the url bar and hitting enter the url bar remains selected. It would be very, very helpful if it would swift focus to the page itself so it's possible to start using keyboard shortcuts (like up or down arrow keys) and keyboard-based navigation (like Vimium - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb?hl=en) without having to click on the page first. Trying to tab out of the url bar just starts cycling through url elements on the navbar. Thanks! - (2020-05-05, v:0.9.8) Achernar: Chrome version v80+
With the lastest chrome version (80+) you absolutely need to change one of "Alias Bookmarks" options. Check the option "Use alternate method to execute bookmarklet code". Failing to do this will prevent bookmarklets from working properly. The next version of Alias Bookmarks will come with this option enabled by default. - (2020-01-24, v:0.9.8) Alejandro Garciarrubio: stop notifications
Notifications are distracting, and not realy needed. How can I stop them? - (2018-07-10, v:0.9.6.20) Robert Sterbal: static text
I type a lot of wiki text and usually use this bookmarklet to copy it to my clipboard: javascript:!function(a){var b=document.createElement("textarea"),c=document.getSelection();b.textContent=a,document.body.appendChild(b),c.removeAllRanges(),b.select(),document.execCommand("copy"),c.removeAllRanges(),document.body.removeChild(b)}("===What Links Here===\n{{Special:WhatLinksHere/{{PAGENAME}}}}\n\n[[category:]]"); Is there a way to replicate this in alias bookmarks? How would you represent the white space: ===What Links Here=== {{Special:WhatLinksHere/{{PAGENAME}}}} [[category:]]
