IE7: Use Ctrl+Enter to Complete URL
Saturday, 29 March 2008

You want to open http://www.d-pitcom, but it's such a hassle to type in the http:// and the www and the .com. Here's your shortcut method.

On modern browsers, such as IE7 and Firefox, hitting Ctrl + Enter will automatically fill in the www. and the .com part of the URL. Let's see an example:

Just type in d-pit into the address bar in your browser, hit Ctrl + Enter together ...


More Keystroke combinations:

    * Ctrl + Enter - Auto-complete *.com address
    * Shift + Enter - Auto-complete *.net address
    * Ctrl + Shift + Enter - Auto-complete *.org address

If you add Alt to any of those key combinations, it will auto-complete and open the new address in a new tab as well. Alt+Ctrl+Enter will auto-complete a *.com address in a new tab, for instance.
