@ Mallocar: Thanks for the tip, but I'm not a fan of CTRL. I do use it, but only when I absolutely *have* to; my preference for ALT is the fact that my thumb easily accesses that key, whereas the CTRL key is not as optimally placed for my pinky. :( And yes, any keystrokes that irritate my joints beyond the damage they have now can be a deal breaker - for any program, not just Chrome.
@Spicy: Firefox has this GREAT functionality of 'search when I type' that makes it pretty quick to scan and find a word/phrase in a document. Literally, you type - it searches. As you type in your 'searched for' term or phrase, Firefox automatically scans the current page and highlights the matches as you type. If I type 't', all of the t's would highlight - Next, I type 'h' and all of the matches to 'th' get highlighted no matter where they are: at the beginning of word, end of word, middle of word. I finish by typing 'e' (searched term is 'the') and all of the 'the's in the current page are highlighted. No extra keystrokes - I just type and Firefox finds. So, that's where I'm at. I know it sounds a bit picky, but if Chrome wants me bad enough as a regular user, G will comply. I do love a capitalist environment. :) Arow On Sep 4, 1:17 pm, Spicy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, he's right. You can do CTRL + F...
