I never knew Shift-Adjust-click did this trick till Tony Moore 
enlightened us here.  And then, of course, I see that interactive Help 
has been enlightening us all the time -- methinks I'll leave it 
switched on now and then, even on familiar apps, to see what further 
enlightenment I gain.


To export the url of the page you are ON (i.e., the addressbar, as 
opposed to a link IN THE BODY of the page) simply drag* it to a 
textfile. Or Shift-drag it to a directory, where it appears with the 
filetype URL.  Easier than using the menu "Page > Save location > 
...".
   (*Some versions of the OS allow ordinary drag to select parts of a 
writable field such as the addressbar.  In that case, use Ctrl-drag.  
Those versions probably also support Ctrl-A Ctrl-C to copy the 
contents of the addressbar to the clipboard.)
   Netsurf's interactive help doesn't mention these actions.
