Here is a simple trick which can save you quite a few keystrokes each time you enter web site addresses in Firefox.
Suppose you want to visit Digital Quest, instead of entering the full address like www.dq.winsila.com, you could just enter dq.winsila and press Ctrl+Enter. The www and .com are automatically added and Firefox starts fetching the site.
Similarly for adding .net extension press Shift+Enter. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter will add the .org extension.
As you can see, with this simple trick you could save a lot of keystrokes, and in the process, probably reduce the number of typos too. While pressing Ctrl+Enter works in Internet Explorer, the other two don’t.
