Quick Diigo Bookmarking for Chrome

Tech

After reading an article about accelerating bookmarking to Delicious in Chrome, I got the idea to do something similar for Diigo. I like Diigo a lot better and it actually bookmarks to Delicious for me as a backup. To use this script:

  1. Download and install AutoHotKey
  2. Download the script here: ChromeToDiigo.ahk
  3. Run the script just like any other application

Now, when you want to bookmark a page to Diigo:

  1. Select the text you want as the description (or not)
  2. Hit Ctrl+Shift+D or Ctrl+Shift+B 
  3. Add tags and any modifications you see fit
  4. Click the “Add New Bookmark” button

Notes

This script overrides Ctrl+Shift+D and Ctrl+Shift+B, so you cannot use this at the same time as the above-mentioned Delicious bookmarking script. There is not a reason to run both at the same time, anyway as Diigo will send your bookmarks to Delicious for you.

However, you can always edit the script code to change the key sequences.

  • Good idea although a bit involved for me. Is there a way to just have a bookmarklet?
  • Honestly, all this does is allow you to hit a key to do it, but you can
    always just grab the bookmarklet from http://diigo.com/tools and grab the
    "Post to Diigo" bookmarklet.
    The Diigolet is also pretty good if you want more functionality, but don't
    want to install the entire toolbar. It's also a good alternative if the
    toolbar isn't available for your browser of choice.
  • Ok thanks. I'll don't use keyboard shortcuts b/c..... well idk why but never got into them.
