How do I force bookmarks created with <Ctrl>d, to go to "Unsorted Bookmarks" by default with a custom tag attached?

Like viewing a page, find it interesting, press <Ctrl>d and:

Bookmark goes directly to "unsorted bookmarks" instead of "Bookmarks menu";

A tag "Read later" is attached.

The little box that pops up is ok as long as it has those choices as defauls so I don't have to change them every time.

I do not, but: This makes it more complicated add bookmark here

This one is experimental but seems to do it automatically Auto Tagging

Let me know how you like those, I would be interested on how to do this as well! :-)

Thank you for the reply.

I'm sorry to say those don't seem to be a solution: both these extensions add mouse interaction which is what I am trying to avoid. Evenmore, the second extension is windows only and is not yet available for V. 29 of firefox.

Since you are interested in doing this aswell: I'm thinking that maybe only with the help of those extensions that help you create some kind of macros...

I try to avoid as much as I can to add extensions so firefox don't slow down, safety and KISS.

Ah, there is the Customizable shortcut extension, but this might not keep it simple.

Best option so far seems to be to just click the star instead of pressing the shortcut. I even saw a way to place a copy of the "Unsorted bookmarks" on the toolbar for easy access.

Still need to add the tag afterwords, which is not the best option... unless there is a way to show bookmarks without tags! That would be awesome.

Do you know of such a way?
