    1. One click to bookmark with given tag(s) in the search input.
    2. Same button to highlight.

    So, It's the only button I need in the Diigo toolbar !! Very convenient.
    I can't find the equivalent feature in v3.1.3 tool bar.

    we are no longer taking tags from the search box. It is very easy to get tags you do not intend.

    the one button solution that does everything is hard for lots of beginners to figure out.

    If you do not like to keep all the buttons on the toolbar, note you can still use the right-click menu to do pretty everything.

    Thanks I see.
    But why not an optional switch to allow that wonderful smart feature alive instead of felly removing it.

    Thanks - will discuss..

    as you know, the challenge to us is to offer intuitive design for newbies and power for advanced users like yourself .. We also like a very streamlined and elegant design to reduce the complexities for everyone. Thinking hard ... :-)

    Well, when we saw this review, we are happy :-) http://guidewiregroup.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/solving-the-bookmarking-headache/

    I see.
    It took long time for myself happen to find this feature super convenient.

    I can simply keep older Diigo tool bar on my IE, good for researching. And V3 on my Firefox, nice for viewing with the sidebar.

    By the way, so I found V3 tool bar chooses a small stickynotes font size, too small for Chinese characters.

    V3.1.4 has a sub-set of the old "capture search items" feature that can Bookmark the recent web page
    with pre-defined tags.

    1. Diigo toolbar options > keyboard tab > check "Quick Bookmark (one-click)" and define a hot key
    // Hotkey only? I can't find the One-click button
    3. Bookmark icon pull down triangle > one click save options > default tags

    Press the hot key bookmarks the recent web page *with that default tags*. Good.

    Little tiny drawbacks
    This hot key does not highlight marked area at the same time as the old "capture search items" does.
    Default tags is deep in a long process that is not as convenient for visible edit-able as before.
