Scratch that. The item I saw is actually "Ctrl+Shift+Windows Key+0", so CTRL+SHIFT+0 doesn't function for unknown reasons.

Re: Writing of settings is super insecure. Settings are lost frequently

Well, it has gotten better, but it still happens. 2-3 times since last time I wrote here, but that's still a lot worse than it used to be. And the loss of all of my settings is still annoying.

I think a safe write approach is merited, making the original file a backup in case of write failure.

Hi!

Bookmarks are often repetitive with little to distinguish between them.
Either (or both) of these would be helpful with this. Numbering the bookmarks would be an easy way to distinguish between them.
