Switch the bookmarks bar easily

Bookmarks Bar Switcher lets you easily and quickly switch between multiple bookmarks bars.

How to use:
To start, name your current book bar.
To create a bookmarks bar that you can switch to, create a folder within Other Bookmarks.

How it works:
When switching, your current bookmarks bar will be backed up to a folder within Other Bookmarks with the name you initially specified.
And the folder you selected will become the new bookmarks bar.
So any changes you made on your bookmarks bar will stay when you switch back.

Known issues:
It doesn't work well across multiple devices.
Reports of bookmarks mixed up have been received.
It's probably something to do with the chrome bookmark sync functionality.
It's very likely to happen when you switch the bookmarks bar while chrome is syncing the bookmarks.
At the moment, there isn't a good way to fix the issue. Because chrome doesn't provide APIs to tell when the sync starts or ends.
But one way to potentially avoid the problem is when you switch device, don't immediately switch the bookmarks bar. Give it sometime (2-3 mins) to finish the sync and then switch.

Is it possible to switch between bookmars bars with the keyboard only? I managed to make a jotkey that opens the extention, but then I can not navigate and select the name of the bookmarks bar I want... That would be awesome! Cheers!

It doesn`t work at all, I can write only the name of the bookmarks bar and that`s all. There is no option to create a new bar. I created a new folder inside "Other Bookmarks" as instructions say but nothing changes.

great extension. It would really need the option for a shortcut.
If this option is added please do it so, that a specific bar can have a specific shortcut.
