#2This is a nice idea and the design is elegant. However, I already use Vimium's "b" key command for this, and it comes with so many other features too.

#3I thought this was for bookmark searching, that would have been far more useful.

You can change the hotkey from the extension settings.

#6This is awesome. Quite possibly one of the best solutions I have seen so far to manage bookmarklets.

I was hoping the same. I was nearly giddy with excitement, then I tried searching... no dice... re-read the description... ah.
I might try making this a reality. It'd be incredibly useful.

I'm sorry to let you down, but what you're describing is not what I have visioned for this. But hey, if you're going to create this on your own, the source code for Backtick is available on GitHub (https://github.com/JoelBesada/Backtick) if there's anything you need to know!

Oh by the way, as mentioned in another comment, Vimium comes with a tool that probably is exactly what you're looking for. Just press 'b' to search through your bookmarks.

Thanks! Vimium's "b" hotkey is not exactly the same though.
Backtick comes with a bunch of bookmarklets already available without you having to save them to your browser first. I'll also keep adding more commands to it as I get suggestions and find more to add.
The point is, Backtick allows you to discover new bookmarklets just by searching in the console while Vimium only has those that you've added yourself.
