Keyboard Shortcut :: Remove Google Chrome Bookmark

google-chromekeyboard

I keep accidentally typing Command + D in Google Chrome, because I'm used to that taking me to the Address Bar on Windows systems. This results in a bookmark being created.

My question is: How do I use the keyboard to reverse this action, to remove the bookmark that was created?

To reverse and accidental bookmark, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and turn on Full Keyboard Access for "All controls". Now one can use the tab key to highlight the Remove button then hit return to reverse.


Use +L to highlight the URL thus taking you to the Address bar.

From Chrome Support:
⌘+L Highlights the URL.

Takes a bit of retraining of muscle memory, but this is faster and is less complicated than trying to remap the Bookmark shortcut, which is built in by Google.

NOTE: This works in Safari and several other browsers too.
