It would be great to be able to show/hide the Bookmarks Bar in Opera 21, similar to the CTRL+SHIFT+B toggle shortcut in the Chrome browser.

Yes, the Opera Bookmars Bar can be switched on and off in 'Settings', by selecting the 'Show Bookmarks Bar' option under 'User Interface'. This needs a press of Alt+P and then scrolling down the Settings/Browser menu to tick/un-tick the box.

A single-action toggle, such as the Chrome browser's Ctrl+Shift+B gives instant control over the bookmarks bar - allowing instant extra space for webpage display (and also speedily hides the bookmarks bar from prying eyes looking over your shoulder).

I have searched Opera extensions and Chrome store, without success.

If the Chrome browser can do it - then why not Opera 21?!

OPERA v23 is eagerly awaited!

Is it too soon to REVISIT my Wishlist item for inclusion in the new version - Opera 23?

It would be great to be able to show/hide the Bookmarks Bar in Opera 23, similar to the CTRL+SHIFT+B toggle shortcut that is INCLUDED in the Chrome browser.(not an extension).

Please.

Sorry, lem729.

Re your June 16 comment, above. ..."If I need the bookmarks bar, I can bring it back for a second with ctrl shift E (which is almost a toggle). And put the check in Show the bookmarks bar...."

In my current OPERA v22.0.1471.70, ctrl+Shift+E takes me to "Extensions" page and not to "Settings".

Am I missing something here - I currently hide/unhide the BOOKMARKS bar via ALT+P (ie.the short-cut select for Settings), and then tick/untick "Show the bookmarks bar".

Thanks

lem729,
Thanks for your comment.
I have posted my request for a bookmarks-bar show/hide toggle to the Opera suggestions box, as you suggested.

I appreciate and accept the comment from lem729 "though it's not perfect, the Alt P action and unchecking or checking the box is pretty easy". But if the Chrome browser can provide an instant bookmarks-bar toggle - then why not Opera 21?!
