Do not try and bend the spoon. That is impossible. Instead, only try and realize the truth - there is no spoon. Then you will see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
Eg - when you can't adapt the world to yourself, adapt yourself to the world. Don't get emotionally affected by every little annoyance in the world and especially technology, that way madness lies.
Eg - pick a workaround, go with it, habitualize it, then move on. Personally I like click address bar, then almost simultaneously CTRL+a. tjoff's ALT-d is awesome too, didn't know about that one.
- nkurz 14y agoDon't get emotionally affected by every little annoyance in the world and especially technology, that way madness lies. Madness, but occasionally madness and change. The OP and his angry cohort are trading their collective sanity for thousands of mostly invisible minor improvements that make the world a better place. I mainly use Chrome on Mac, but also hate this behavior. Yes, clicking on an insertion point, cussing, and using Ctrl-A works if I want to select the beginning of the URL, but if I wanted to do this I would have stuck with the keyboard and not bothered carefully selecting my insertion point. Rage on OP!
