Keyboard hotkey open my favorite folder no effect in Edge brower

Hi MSFT team member,

I used to a keyboard with hotkey can open my favorite folder in IE, but Edge.
How do i set combination key or will MSFT release keycode for this function?

Hi @Nick Chung ,

If you used Alt+C to open your favorites in IE, you can switch to Ctrl+Shift+O to open your favorites in Edge.

Yes, I try Ctrl+Shift+O can open my favorite folder but can't close the window when press Ctrl+Shift+O again.
Maybe this is the special key code design of the keyboard for IE.
Will any combination key can close the my favorite folder on Edge?

Thank you!

Hi @Nick Chung ,

Yes, Ctrl+Shift+O can only open your favorites but cannot close the flyout menu. Good news is that you have such hotkey to close the favorites flyout menu. Try Ctrl+F6, which closes the favorites and moves focus to the web content.
