If I want to update the beginning of a string I ctrl+l -> home -> ctrl+shift+right arrow.
If it is at the end of the string I ctrl+l -> ctrl+shift+left arrow.
I don't mind having to press the home key on occasion that I'd try a different source (which is almost never).
- BuckRogers 11y agoYou'd have to change the source if you were really searching hard though. That whole process sounds clunkier than just using DDG and a browser with a dedicated search bar. I don't think I'll be switching to your method, but it sounds like something I could see some people doing prior to DDG's existence.
- Nadya 11y agoCtrl+L highlights the navigation area (which doubles as a search bar in any current browser so long as a URL isn't inputted) So the difference between the nav bar and a dedicated search bar is almost nil. They serve the same functionality, but one allows you to search domains without having to prefix a keyword. It might sound clunky because I primarily use keyboard shortcuts instead of reaching over to my mouse.
