Only way to bookmark is through hotkeys.

[Omega]

The only way I can add a bookmark currently is through a totally un-hinted and undocumented hotkey (ctrl-d).

This should show up in the menus somewhere or at least be achievable by dragging a folder to the sidebar.

I also think it would be *less* confusing if the bookmark list was blended under the "Places" heading. Otherwise I have to scroll past Devices just to see folders I've personally configured to be promptly available. This would stop the feature from contradicting a good UX because obviously the user would want the deliberately-made bookmark to be more readily available than other items.

Marking "Fix Released" as bookmarks can now be created using a button on the hamburger menu or by dragging a folder to the nautilus sidebar (Ubuntu 18.04, nautilus 3.26)
