Asgard Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hm weird... I can't get [Ctrl]+[shift] to do that at my computer... It rather switches my keyboard between the US 101 keyboard lay-out and the Dutch keyboard lay-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemama718 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 yeah i think that depends on settings...but also i think you're supposed to type it, and press ctrl + shift + enter, i.e. instead of www.google.com + enter you press google.com + ctrl + shift + enter. i recall this working before but for some reason it goes to the .org and not .com also in firefox alot of times you don't need to do that it has a feature that'll just bring you to the most related web page. (except sometimes it goes to a google search, and i can't figure out exactly what makes it do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
