Bookmarklets are programs that live on your browser’s Favorites (aka bookmarks) bar. Where standard bookmarks have a name and a web address, bookmarklets have a name and a tiny Javascript to make life simpler. I just stumbled on a tool that let me combine a number of bookmarklets into a menu!

Here's my "lucky star" ★ menu, which offers three functions I use all the time

Once installed, clicking the star brings up a little menu to perform one of these tasks.

To install the ★ menu in your browser:

  1. Adjust preferences to display your Favorites Bar
  2. Visit my Star menu page
  3. Scroll to the Star icon at the bottom of the page (search on the string "result" and tab once)
  4. Drag the star to your Bookmark Bar (I put it on the left edge). If you’re using Safari & a keyboard, command-1 will bring up the menu.
