I used to be able to do this with unofficial ccfme k-m how would I do this now please? Right click on a page and add it to hotlinks
Wondering, why not menu Tools > Hotlinks?
Do you change them so often? Remember all by memory? In which way do you use it...?
@Mello
I recommend will study this commands and modify necessary to you menu
(for example, a context menu BROWSER \ DEFAULTs \ settings \ menus.cfg ):

Thanks I'll look at that hermes
This is what I used to do many years ago in 2005 siria. I doubled the number of hotlinks and yes I often change them.
I finally remembered my old username here Arrow and did a search for my old questions, here's the configuration, but layout of KM is different now:
Whow... you've used KM since 2005, 13 years ago? Cool
And even doubled the number of shortcuts, making it 18 websites to remember by heart? Creating those again is still rather easy, but before deciding how to best match your needs with a new macro and menu, I'm still struggling to understand why you prefer to input new ones "blind", overwriting the previous URL, instead of using the list overview in Tools>Hotlinks. If saving 1sec of time is so important, that seems you change those shortcut-URLs very often, all the time. But how in the world do you remember so many entries without a list? That would already be near impossible with a static set of 18 URLs, but completely out of my imagination when even changing those all the time. Photographic memory??
There must be something I'm missing...
If I had double the amount of hotlinks I'd rotate approx. six of them siria. Not difficult to remember the numbers of the remainder after many years.
I've never signed up to Twitter but I like to view the postings of various experts in their fields, and as I discover new interesting accounts - which is often - from their cross-references I relegate ones I want to rest into bookmarks.
EDIT
I found a download link for Hao's ccf-me 0.963 (2008/9) and he had assigned numbers to each hotlink: ctrl+1 = 1 etc. These numbers didn't appear in the browser preference dialog boxes however.
So....open context menu / select add to hotlinks (hotkeys) / enter a number... 1, 2,3 etc That's it.

New Macro: hotlinks20
Okay, attached is a new macro, and couldn't resist playing with the menus a bit (if you find it too long, it also contains your wished mini-menu, the toggle for long/short is at the bottom in the kmm :cool
(But I still find my own home-page much easier, which contains just a little link list, unfortunately ever growing, as usual...)
Updated to version-4: fixed line position after URL-changes in buggy KM75+newer
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?9,file=1779,filename=hotlinks20.kmm
Description inside the file.
Tip: hotlinks can also be used for bookmarklets.
Installation: copy the kmm-file into your macros folder and restart.
(last update 2018-03-08, later just fixed the broken link after topic was moved into extensions forum)

Hey! that's brilliant siria. All those hotlinks, immediately visible too.
And...very simple to install.
Thank you.
ps.
Like you I do have a custom home page as well with clickable images.
file:///C:/Program%20Files/_Homepage/index.htm
I saved a web page that had the layout I wanted and then replaced
the images and links. I don't understand html.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/01/2018 12:23AM by Mello.
Great that it meets your needs
Have now uploaded version3 above, the menu now shows a checkmark if the current page is already stored in a hotlink.
Yeah am not really html-savvy either, just occasionally have to learn enough for current tasks, then sadly forget it again, until next time :/
Adding pictures is nice but too much work if the list grows longer. My initial text-links homepage had just about a dozen links, and didn't expect it to grow so large, but meanwhile contains over 100, oh well. Most are 'temporary' links meant to check later when having more time, or meant to visit regularly only for awhile when finding a new temporary interest. Then of course to be removed again later or stored in bookmarks, am just a bit slow at cleaning up :cool:
Anyway, just as html syntax example, have attached a little textlinks page. When I want to add a new link or edit an old one, can just hit the "View Source" function in KM, that opens the page in the text editor defined in KM-prefs for source viewing. Then can just copy the lines of another link and adjust the target and name (The input boxes etc. can be ignored or deleted, are just inherited from creation with the tablistia macro)

Thanks again.
One question: I updated a hotlink to a different page on the same domain but then it shifted position in the context menu list to the bottom, is it possible for sites to remain in a static position in the context list because I now have CTRL + 6 below ALT + 9
Ah right, that stupid setmenu bug in modern KM-versions
Don't remember at the moment when exactly it started (74? 75?), but in the past, when creating a menu line with macrolanguage, and a line for the same function existed already and just had another description, the old line was replaced in the same spot. Then came the probs with migrating to newer engines and that didn't work anymore, instead there were now 2 lines showing up in the menu! Dorian made a workaround that first deletes the old line and then adds the new one, but that means the position is lost, the updated line moved to the bottom.
Wonder if roytam1 can fix this too, as he managed with broken injectJS-return and site-UAs? :cool:
For the moment, in THIS macro, I can add a workaround myself, that's also necessary for middle-aged KM versions, but this is only possible because the menu structure is so rigid here. First remove the old menu line by macro, then add the new line again by macro, and place it right above the next hotlink number.
But for most other macros that's not possible, because there's usually no way to know the current position number or next neighbor below
Hmm, thinking about it... in other macros perhaps first insert a dummy command above the old line, then delete the old line, then add the updated one above the dummy line, then remove the dummy line again... may work, but grmpff!
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/03/2018 06:37AM by siria.
Have now checked that menuline position bug in
KM74: still okay. 1 setmenu line is enough, updates for the same command land automatically in the same spot again.
KM75: worst version: changed menulines appear now double, the old one remains unchanged in place, the updated version lands at bottom
KM75.1+newer: updated menulines land at bottom
(KM74-Goanna win98: Crash when opening a changed menu again :-(
Luckily in THIS macro the menuline positions are known with fix numbers, that means 1x delete and 1x new create is enough.
Please download again:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?1,file=1779,filename=hotlinks20.kmm
What I keep thinking:
it would be handy to have 2 full menus, for "Open hotlink..." and for "Store hotlink..."
Am thinking about doing it, just a bit uneasy with exploding a tiny cute 2-4 lines macro to over 40 menu lines :-/
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/03/2018 05:16PM by siria.
Thank you, I had no idea what was involved.
I'll try the new one.
BUT: I did notice when I rebooted my laptop today that the original
order of hotlinks had restored itself.
Yes that menu bug affects only in-session changes of menus.
At every browser startup all menus get created all fresh again, in this case from the prefs 0-9 in counting order.
This is awsome. I loved KM even more now.
Anyway hotlinks are the greatest (and most useful) function in KM imho.
Thanks siria for this macro.
BTW does anyone try to add about:addons button to toolbar or in Tools menu (I have currently 2 additional buttons: AdB. and Ext. Manager) ?

I have about:addons as a hotlink lol
Wow, two users! Glad you like
So has everyone their favorites. For me the privacy/bandwith buttons are. And macros plugin of course! And mouse gestures. And configurability in general, and... LOL!
(But without the privbuttons I really couldn't live. Since last year am forced to use Retrozilla/FF2 browser more and more often, due to the https-mania everywhere with TLS1.2, and KM74goanna-alpha is far too often crashing yet. And what am I doing now?! Crazy, started dabbling with building an FF2-addon to get those darn buttons created, argh. Works now, but far too much time wasted.)
Ah I see you've found it And yes, it was inspired by your post above.
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,147082,147249#msg-147249
Thanks for the info about Retrozilla/FF2. I'll try it. Anyway it looks like SeaMonkey. I like old Geck browsers - I still have on disk: FF 47.0.2, IceCat 38.8.0, Mozilla 1.7.13, Netscape 9 and SeaMonkey. Now I add Retrozilla to my browsers They're fully customizable thus I like them.

LOL, you sure don't really need Retrozilla for connecting to TLS1.2, since you can run newer browsers too. But if you collect them as hobby Retrozilla exists in various flavours, as I just learned these day myself, RZ2 is Firefox2 with TLS1.2 for Windows95, and roytams RZ2.2 actually *is* Seamonkey, also plus TLS1.2 for Win95. The thread for them is over at the MSFN forum.
to be clear, rzbrowser-*.7z is "RetroZilla Browser" which is in Firefox-alike form, while rz-suite-*.7z is "RetroZilla Suite" which is in Seamonkey-alike form.
Can even add pictures or files to hotlinks, this is great.
Drag jpg or txt, doc, html file etc into k-m then right click and hotlink.

I finally remembered my old username here Arrow and did a search for my old questions, here's the configuration, but layout of KM is different now:

[quote=Arrow]
For those interested and learning this stuff like me
In accel.cfg I assigned the alt+4 shortcut to another key
and in the Hotkeys section I added
ALT 1 = macros(ALT1)
ALT 2 = macros(ALT2)
ALT 3 = macros(ALT3)
ALT 4 = macros(ALT4)
ALT 5 = macros(ALT5)
ALT 6 = macros(ALT6)
ALT 7 = macros(ALT7)
ALT 8 = macros(ALT8)
ALT 9 = macros(ALT9)
In the menus.cfg I added
macros(SETALT1,Set address for Alt+1);
macros(SETALT2,Set address for Alt+2);
macros(SETALT3,Set address for Alt+3);
macros(SETALT4,Set address for Alt+4);
macros(SETALT5,Set address for Alt+5);
macros(SETALT6,Set address for Alt+6);
macros(SETALT7,Set address for Alt+7);
macros(SETALT8,Set address for Alt+8);
macros(SETALT9,Set address for Alt+9);
to make set address for alt 1-9 appear in the Tools/Hotkeys menu

Have now checked that menuline position bug in
KM74: still okay. 1 setmenu line is enough, updates for the same command land automatically in the same spot again.
KM75: worst version: changed menulines appear now double, the old one remains unchanged in place, the updated version lands at bottom
KM75.1+newer: updated menulines land at bottom
(KM74-Goanna win98: Crash when opening a changed menu again :-(
Luckily in THIS macro the menuline positions are known with fix numbers, that means 1x delete and 1x new create is enough.
Please download again:

What I keep thinking:
it would be handy to have 2 full menus, for "Open hotlink..." and for "Store hotlink..."
Am thinking about doing it, just a bit uneasy with exploding a tiny cute 2-4 lines macro to over 40 menu lines :-/

Thank you, I had no idea what was involved.
I'll try the new one.
BUT: I did notice when I rebooted my laptop today that the original
order of hotlinks had restored itself.

Yes that menu bug affects only in-session changes of menus.
At every browser startup all menus get created all fresh again, in this case from the prefs 0-9 in counting order.

New Macro: hotlinks20
(...)
Description inside the file.
Tip: hotlinks can also be used for bookmarklets.
Installation: copy the kmm-file into your macros folder and restart.
This is awsome. I loved KM even more now.
Anyway hotlinks are the greatest (and most useful) function in KM imho.
Thanks siria for this macro.
BTW does anyone try to add about:addons button to toolbar or in Tools menu (I have currently 2 additional buttons: AdB. and Ext. Manager) ?

So has everyone their favorites. For me the privacy/bandwith buttons are. And macros plugin of course!
And mouse gestures. And configurability in general, and... LOL!
(But without the privbuttons I really couldn't live. Since last year am forced to use Retrozilla/FF2 browser more and more often, due to the https-mania everywhere with TLS1.2, and KM74goanna-alpha is far too often crashing yet. And what am I doing now?! Crazy, started dabbling with building an FF2-addon to get those darn buttons created, argh. Works now, but far too much time wasted.)

Ah I see you've found it
And yes, it was inspired by your post above.

Thanks for the info about Retrozilla/FF2. I'll try it. Anyway it looks like SeaMonkey. I like old Geck browsers - I still have on disk: FF 47.0.2, IceCat 38.8.0, Mozilla 1.7.13, Netscape 9 and SeaMonkey. Now I add Retrozilla to my browsers
They're fully customizable thus I like them.__________________________________________

LOL, you sure don't really need Retrozilla for connecting to TLS1.2, since you can run newer browsers too. But if you collect them as hobby
Retrozilla exists in various flavours, as I just learned these day myself, RZ2 is Firefox2 with TLS1.2 for Windows95, and roytams RZ2.2 actually *is* Seamonkey, also plus TLS1.2 for Win95. The thread for them is over at the MSFN forum.Re: Add page to hotlinks via right click menu (macro hotlinks20)

to be clear, rzbrowser-*.7z is "RetroZilla Browser" which is in Firefox-alike form, while rz-suite-*.7z is "RetroZilla Suite" which is in Seamonkey-alike form.

Can even add pictures or files to hotlinks, this is great.
Drag jpg or txt, doc, html file etc into k-m then right click and hotlink.
