Use address bar as temporary editor / buffer. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-V, ctrl-left or ctrl-right to edit/confirm correctness, then ctrl a and ctl c

- Cyphase 5y agoI'm glad I'm not the only person who uses the address bar as a temporary editor.
- YPPH 5y agoI use it to clear formatting before pasting into rich text editors like Word or Outlook. Wonder if I'm the only one.
- addandsubtract 5y agoI do the same, unless it contains sensitive data that I don't want to leak to Google. Then I just use Sublime. I wish ctrl+shift+v was more common to paste without formatting.
- mrelectric 5y agoSame hehe
- jiggawatts 5y agoThat's a dangerous habit to get into. Everything you type in the address bar is sent to Google (or your default search engine). If you "edit" to replace placeholders with credentials, you've just sent those credentials to Google. This happens live, character-for-character, you don't need to press enter.
