Something like IE's CTRL + ENTER

In IE, you can enter any string and have the http://www and .com added to it automatically. This is one of those little features that would make the K-Meleon so much nicer to use.

I'm not talking about autocomplete or anything history related, just an easy way to complete URL's with default prefixes and suffixes.

Also, a Go button would be nice. I realize that some view this as useless, as did I when I first saw it in IE, but it sure helps when you're just casually browsing around with your mouse and have just pasted a URL into the entry field. One less movement of your hand from the mouse to the keyboard. smiling smiley

Yeah, and when you lie in the sofa...winking smiley
Fact is that the "Go"button is also very useful for a lot of impaired people. I'm sure it will come (hope).

I second the request for a CTRL + ENTER shortcut.

IMHO this is one of the most useful features in IE, and is one of the only reasons I don't use other browsers for anything above and beyond application compatibility testing.

I third the request for this feature. Things like this, are the reason why IE will continue to be my default browser for the forseeable future. I use Kmeleon for testing purposes only at the moment.

just for reference, netscape does the same thing, except you don't have to hit ctrl+enter. if you have "smart browsing" turned on, you have to add the .com manually, but it still adds the http://www.

Yes, but that feature is spotty. For example:
http://site.com
http://www.site.com

Can be completly different sites.
