GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 344274
auto complete URL's in address-bar
Last modified: 2006-06-08 12:38:01 UTC
when I type an URL into the address entry field, there appears a box beneath it with matching URL's. When scrolling through the list (with the arrow-keys) the address-entry text should change to the selected item. There are two reasons for this feature: 1) I can blindly scroll trough the list without actually looking at it. Looking to the address-field is the only thing I need then. (just like tab completion in shells etc) 2) If I want to go to a very long URL, and have the first part in my history, I will be able to complete to a close URL and change the latest part. For example, I want to go to http://somedomain.com/user/tijmen. But I only have http://somedomain.com/user/someone in my history. I can just complete to the URL in my history, backspace, and type the rest. Remembering long URL's isn't needed then. Other information:
