Look Ma, No Mouse!

I have to say my love of firefox has grown an order of magnitude since discovering CTRL+L for jumping to the location bar & finding that keywords finally work. Now to search for a bug, all I have to do is ALT+TAB to Firefox, CTRL+L, “bug “, Return and *boom*, the bug! All from the keyboard!

So far I have keywords for y! search, y! news, y! yellow pages, cpan, amazon, a dictionary, a thesaurus, imdb, google, google groups, bugzilla and various internal tools.

As Cartman would say “sweeeeeeettttt.”

    Use the keyword substitution for even more fun. I can type ‘# ‘ in firefox and it opens the actual bug report directly in our bugz install. And, btw, Ctrl+k takes you to the search bar just as Ctrl+l takes you to the location bar.
