It’s a level of hell to watch other people continue to type out the full URL while the auto complete is already there, until they make that one typo towards the end and hit enter before you had a chance to tell them.
Truth, but it’s three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!
Unless you’re like me with folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders of bookmarks. Sometimes it’s easier to just search. It would be great if I can do a search within my bookmarks!
Wtf? Yall have been using Search Engines to go to websites you’ve been to before? Why even, just type the url in…
“ne” presses enter for netflix.com
“l” presses enter for lemmy.world
Auto completing urls are so fast.
I accidentally used chrome the other day.
Tried to go to Gmail with “gm” enter.
No autocomplete, just a Google search.
Almost went to the General Motors website.

Even better, save specific search engines with shortcut codes: type ‘w’ + <Space>, start typing to search on Wikipedia.

Idk dude, I feel like there is more wrist movement involved in mouse control than typing.
I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.
All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI … when half the fields still require typing information in.
I still find myself tabbing while signing in but it almost never works.

Firefox can search your bookmarks. I’d be surprised if another browser couldn’t, but it probably isn’t as easy as just using the address bar
I was only joking but you’re right, this is already a thing, for Chrome too. TIL.
For any Chrome users here, type @bookmarks before your search in the address bar.
