The url got truncated, I guess you mean:- http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2010/06/dev-channel-update_17.html > Why do that, I miss the go button.

I find I type stuff then press [enter] or [tab] where appropriate to move to the next field or enter the data I typed. I find it excruciating to watch someone using a browser. The definition of pain is watching as someone waits for msn.com to load (they could hit stop, escape, or even change their home page), then clicks the address bar once (they could click multiple times to select all) then delete the url by holding down backspace (they could just start typing over the top if they selected all as mentioned) and then they type the _whole_ url including http:// (when all they really need is domain.com) and then they lift their hand off the keyboard, find the mouse, and move it to the go button and click. Painful. Whereas I tend to press CTRL+T for new tab, type what I want, or just a portion of it, wait for the browser to guess (correctly) or I type the major part of the URL I need and select from a list then press enter. So much faster. People often say "how on earth did you find that so quickly!?". But then never listen when I give them tips on faster browsing. Hey ho! :D Cheers, Al. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
