In Firefox I can assign each bookmark a _keyword_. When I enter that keyword into the address bar and press `ENTER` Firefox opens the corresponding bookmark. I use these keywords to quickly hop to different pages like Gmail (`gm`), Google Calendar (`gc`), and GitHub repos (`fd`, `ld`, and `hk` all open specific repos I use a lot).

As far as I can tell, this feature doesn’t exist in Brave (or any chromium-based browser). It’d be super nice to have – although I completely understand that this is a niche request.

This is a work-around hack that doesn’t sync with your bookmarks, but at least on Chrome and Brave, you can use a custom Site search shortcut.  
Go to:  
Settings \> Search Engine \> Site search \>\> (Add)  
Fill “URL with %s in place of query” in the Pop-up Dialog without any %s for a simple shortcut.

Oh nice, this is a useful workaround! Achieves the same goal at the very least.
