Thos Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I spotted a tip the other day which you clever clogs all may know about but I didn't.When you are surfing and want to type in another URL, press Ctrl anf F6, the address in the box blues out and you can then type directly.A time saver or what? ( ....what, probably)Thos. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Your right Thos, I did know, but its a useful tip for those that don't, same as dadyassa's tip. another one that I find is working on more and more sites these days is to leave out the www. Just highlight whatever is already in your address window and type where you want to go. BT, tesco, PC world etc with the . co or com at the end. Not a big thing but does save a little time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 IT WORKSSo does a mouse click on the icon in front of the addy ;) ;) Good tip dadyassa, however I prefer to use the keyboard tip, esp as I would be about to use the keyboard to type an address. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 While surfing, Alt+D (IE and Firefox) will move the cursor to the address bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Just an F6 works, no Ctrl necessary. I've been using that for years. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
