Interface with del.icio.us without bookmarks bar Web Browsers
Del.icio.us is great -- but in order to use the buttons it gives you (e.g., for adding a site to your bookmarks) you have to have your bookmark bar visible. That's atrocious for people who don't like to see the bookmark bar In Camino and Firefox (maybe others), you can get around this by assigning a keyword to the bookmark. Go into the bookmarks manager, Get Info on the bookmark, and assign a name for it. I use addlink, for instance, for the add link function. So whenever I'm at a page which I want to add to del.icio.us, I just type Command-L (location bar), then addlink, and it gets added.

You can do this in Safari with one of the third-party keyword managers like Sogudi. In Sogudi, create a new bookmark, assign your shortcut (e.g. addlink), and copy in the following (this is the code in the 'Submit to del.icio.us' bookmark; it should be one long line with no added spaces!):
javascript:location.href='http://del.icio.us/post?v=4;url='+
encodeURIComponent(location.href)+';title='+encodeURIComponent
(document.title)
This is a pretty simple hint, but realizing I could do this has made my browsing life so much more aesthetically pleasing...

Alternatively, you can do what i do:
  1. Temporarily display the bookmarks bar
  2. Drag any site-supplied bookmarklet to the bar
  3. Rename it if necessary
  4. Hide the bar again
The bookmarklet can then be activated via Apple-1, Apple-2, etc., depending upon its position on the Bookmarks bar. Not only is this easier in terms of keypresses, it also requires no additional tools.

I prefer to use Pukka and its 'Install Bookmarklet' feature. I then move the bookmarklet to one of the first 9 entries in the Bookmarks Menu so that I can use Cmd-# (in my case, Cmd-9) to automatically launch Pukka when I want to del.icio.us something. When Pukka is done adding the link, it's Cmd-Q and I'm back to surfing.
