Comment #5 on issue 18251 by Jonathan007: Using Tab Key To Browse Address Bar History Broken http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18251
The fact that tab-to-search doesn't work in all cases is a bug make sense and would make the feature consistent. However, FF/IE still has functionality that is not present in chrome. As suggested above, would it be possible to have a settings option added to disable address bar search and then make the default tab action the ability to cycle through address bar history? I wouldn't push this issue if I didn't think it was important. As noted above, this is the only reason I'm not using chrome right now and there are many others I work with who feel the same way. Pressing tab on the address bar after typing in one or two letters is the fastest way to visit a website located on the address bar. This functionality is in FF/IE and I'd think that Chrome would want to compete to bring in tech savvy internet users. If you're looking for more people to discuss this with, I have a dozen or so people I know who can tell you the same thing. Once you learn to use tab to browse through history on the address bar you don't want to use a browser that doesn't have it. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
