CTRL+Enter Shortcut for Completing Web Addresses #8

Closed 1deadpixl closed 7 years ago

1deadpixl commented 8 years ago

Since the omnibox in Oryoki is so simple, it would be nice to have some keyboard shortcuts to enhance query input. Chrome supports completing the URL with a ".com" prefix by pressing ctrl+enter. I'd like to suggest adding that one plus additional modifiers like alt and shift to do more completions like ".org" and ".net".

Right now using tab allows to change to a "feeling lucky" search, so that kinda does the ctrl+enter job. alt & shit sounds a bit confusing - need to feel it out first. Also, the omnibox will be revised with more functionality in the future (<keyword> query kinda thing).

OK, I see what you mean with the "feeling lucky" search. It's direct for most sites, but it's not clear what's going to load until you press enter, which is a bit unsettling. You can try out the keyboard shortcuts I'm suggesting in Firefox. Check out the Miscellaneous section of their keyboard shortcuts list—they use combinations of shift and cmd.

0.1.0 introduces a ctrl+enter shortcut to a lucky search. Works nicely as an alternative, so I'm closing for now.
