Hey Holly, Welcome to the list. I haven't yet found a way to turn off auto-completion in the location field but you can do the following as a work-around: After typing Command-l to open the location window, press space bar, which will delete the highlighted text in the edit field. Then start typing your URL or just www dot whatever and Safari will not auto-complete it because there's a space at the beginning of the character string. Hope that works for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Holly Anderson To: General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 4:16 PM Subject: Re: Auto-completion in address bar with safari
I know that it over writes, but its really distracting when it keeps talking while I'm trying to write. Holly At 03:08 PM 6/10/2006, you wrote: >Hey Holly.
