Legit question: What’s the main difference between this and using cmd-f search built into the browse? Other than the fact it’s one less key press to use, which in itself honestly does sound pretty nice. (Since the home page even brings up autohide with the ability to use that keyboard shortcut to open it deliberately, which is normally used by the browser itself)
- andreseg 5y agoCtrl F doesn't help you navigate links. If you're in Gmail - all you have to do is type "inb" and push "enter" and it will take you to the inbox. Ctrl F will only show you matches on the page that match "inb". It doesn't focus on links, and it doesn't help you easily navigate to that link. There's a video demo that explains this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7wGtyeEoKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7wGtyeEoKQ
- FreezerburnV 5y agoAh gotcha, thanks for replying! I think I'm seeing how this ends up being useful in a lot of sites for navigation. That's a pretty "simple" change to normal searching that feels like it can do a lot, which is really cool. I'll give this a try at some point soon.
