Safari question (noobish)

[rudini]

Hey all,

I plan on getting an iMac once leopard is out and it's somewhat closer to x-mas, but I've started using Safari beta on my current windos xp machine. As a long time windows user, I was wondering if there was an equivalent for "Crtl+Enter" on the Safari browser.

For example,
On XP with IE7, if you type macrumors on the address bar, then hit "Crtl+Enter", IE7 fills in the www. and the .com for you. No mouse needed.

Is there anything like that for Safari on OSX?

Thank you!

safari does it for you automatically.

if you type macrumors in the address bar, safari will automatically put in the www. and .com

no need for control enter.

Hmmm....

so just to clarify...

If i type:

macrumors and hit ENTER, it does the www. and the .com for me?

if so, that's kinda neat!

Yep! Just tried it my-self. I never knew it did that. Ya learn something new every day. I haven't tried it in Windows, but don't understand why it wouldn't work. Either way at least you know it will work when you get your Mac.

Yes. You can see a tiny delay when you do that; I guess Safari looks for "whatever" first and figures, "nothing called 'whatever' that I can find, must have meant 'www.whatever.com' so I'll use that instead".

It works in FireFox on my work PC but not in IE 6.
