Introduction: The Bookmark Chaos
The bookmarks of a browser, though useful, often become a real mess. Each click to a site requires searching through an sometimes obscure hierarchy.
That’s why I looked for a smoother and faster alternative to reach my daily sites without sorting endless folders.
The Problem: Why Bookmarks Fail
Bookmarks are designed as a storage, not as a search engine. You still have to navigate through categories and then click the exact link.
This two‑step process slows productivity and increases frustration when you’re looking for a page quickly.
Impact on Productivity
Every second counts: 10 % of the time spent searching for a site can be recovered by using a dedicated keyboard launcher.
JumpKey Solution: The Two‑Key Launcher
JumpKey turns your frequent sites into a launch page controlled from the keyboard. Just press one key to open the category, then another to start the service.
This method reduces clicks to zero and makes access instantaneous—even for self‑hosted services.
Key Features
Each category has a unique shortcut. Inside each category, every link has its own keyboard code, creating a two‑key system.
Installation via Docker Compose
The installation is simple thanks to a preconfigured Docker‑Compose file.
- Download the GitHub repository containing the docker-compose.yml
- Run
docker compose up -dto start the container - Access the web interface at http://localhost:8080
The service starts in a few seconds and is ready to be configured.
Configuration: Define Your Categories and Links
JumpKey expects a JSON file where you list your categories and the corresponding URLs. You can also add icons or descriptions for each link.
After editing, restart the container to apply changes. Keyboard shortcuts stay the same unless modified in the configuration file.
“Since I adopted JumpKey, I spend less than 5 seconds a day looking for a site. It’s an incredible time saver!” – Satisfied user
Benefits: Speed and Customization
Using a keyboard launcher eliminates the visual overload of menus and allows ultra‑fast navigation.
The flexible configuration gives you full control over how your links are organized, without the constraints of a cluttered graphical interface.
