CTRL + Enter = http://www.____.com. Is this possible in a Mac

[poppe]

Hello. I'm still working on getting my Mac and recently I was playing around on with safari. My question is this. The number one thing i use on windows computers is ctrl + enter after i've typed in say "macrumors" which then transforms macrumors into https://www.macrumors.com. Because i'm lazy I use this all the time and will die not having it.

Is there a way to do this in a mac (like some sort of key tricks)? or does safari do that with out having to push any thing besides enter?

Thanks

for me i just type in "macrumors" and it automatically puts the http:// and .com of course Im not using safari, Im using Firefox

Yes there is a way. Next time just type Macrumors in the address bar and see what happens...😉 ..

Edit: Mernak you beat me to it..

What happens if you use Spotlight? Cmd-space -> macrumors.com ? Or what if you have Quicksilver installed? <shortcut combo> -> macrumors.com ?

I can't test either of these right now (work PC) but those are the only things I can think of that may work.

"macrumors" enter should work and give you https://www.macrumors.com

and also, you can get Saft (http://pimpmysafari.com) and create shortcuts - like I have "/." go to http://slashdot.org and "mr" go to http://macrumors.com and such.
