Hello everyone, when using Safari or Google Chrome on your 6 Plus. Do you tend to press the "." button instead of the spacebar on the keyboard when typing on the URL box? Happens to me all the time... :mad:

I have a similar issue where my finger will tap the comma instead of the period.

I do this all the time. All of my search queries are like:

amazon.logitech.mouse

Etc.....

Also when using the regular keyboard I keep hitting the damn emoticon button instead of the punctuation key, especially when typing one-handed. They really haven't thought this through in terms of usability. You can disable the emoticon key but it just replaces it with something else (I cannot remember what) which brings up a pop up dialog when you hit it. They should give you the option of removing the emoticon key and making the space bar bigger.

:eek: I thought I was the only one. Drives me crazy when using Safari. Half.my.searches.look.like.this. Then I have to hit the search suggestion in Google. :D They need to find another way of including the dictation button and make the spacebar more wider.

Totally agree.

I'm past the stage of trying to be careful and more often than not it navigates to the page I'm wanting anyway even with the '.' In between the words :)

I do this all the time. It gets quite annoying, I wish the spacebar was bigger. Maybe make the "go" button smaller in order to do so
