Agreed. But like I said, you won't get the benefits of the history incremental search. Also, I maybe should have mentioned I have a lot of other one letter shortcuts like that so "g" fits rights in.
- jerf 17y agoActually, you do get history for your searches, and Google's autosuggest, in modern versions of Firefox. What you say used to be true, but from what I can see CTRL-K strictly dominates a bookmark keyword if you're starting from scratch. That said, if you've already got "CTRL-L g space" in your fingers, it's not so much better that you should switch.
- unalone 17y agoYou also get this in Safari. Incidentally, for Mac users it's incredibly trivial to set up a hotkey for the search box. I have it mapped to CMD-E, and it greatly eases my web flow.
- timf 17y agoI'm on Firefox 3.5 and didn't see that behavior.
- jerf 17y agoIn about:config, do you have browser.search.suggest.enabled set to True? I have a firefox right here and it's working fine.
