Research direction

Start by locating the bookmark selection and Edit bookmark UI, then read how keyboard shortcuts and button access keys are handled. The request offers several possible approaches, so clarify which one is wanted before implementing. Done means removing a selected bookmark is practical from the keyboard, with the chosen behavior covered by an appropriate test or manual check.

Description

Is it possible to set up a shortcut to remove a selected bookmark (selecting on subtitle line)? Currently using keyboard to remove a bookmark requires many steps like opening Edit bookmark, hit [Tab] 3 times at least to select Remove button before Enter, and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to use Autohotkey script to remove it since I haven't figured out how to catch the Remove button on Edit bookmark. So the best way could be a shortcut to remove a bookmark when a line is selected. If can't do, a shortcut on Edit bookmark to remove it or select Remove button still helps, or [Alt] key to display letters on button like [Cancel] and [OK] maybe also works.
