The sidebar

Introduction

Rogallo can optionally show a sidebar widget containing either your bookmarks or your location history. By default, the sidebar is hidden. It operates on a toggle basis depending on focus and current visibility. If it is hidden, running either ToggleBookmarksManager (bound to Shift+F3 by default) or ToggleHistoryManager (bound to Shift+F2 by default) will open it.
