These videos are out of date because in Hookmark 5 we made some subtle changes to the user-interface:
- the “Title bar” ☰ button is now the “Action” ☰ button. It acts on whatever you selected.
- By default, the title bar item is selected, not the link.
- ⌘C, ⌘M , ⌘V, ⌘N and other ☰ button commands always act on the selection.
- Several new commands are available.
The videos still accurately convey the gist of Hookmark. Please do watch them.
