Title: So... anyone else want a ".com" key on their desk-top keyboards now?
Post by: fuzzybaffy on Sat, 17 August 2013, 23:19:52
I doubt everyone knows what I'm talking about, since not all smartphones have them...

But, just recently I got a Samsung Galaxy S4, and there's a ".com" key on their touch-type keyboards. I've gotten such a habit of using it, that nowadays I automatically look for that key on my PC keyboard.  ^-^

Now... I don't actually want keyboard manufacturers to make that key, but I just thought it's funny that I keep looking for it. :p

So what you're saying, is that we could make a .com key, and map it to ctrl + Enter? That's kind of badass, actually.

ctrl+enter adds www. and .com for you.  for example you could type the following into your address bar:    weather  then hit ctrl + enter, it'll take you to www.weather.com

This is all very well for the US, but what about other countries?

Like sites I visit are usually either .com.au or .net.au or .org.au ...

I do not have F16.  My F16 is really a Do key.

Does Windows even recognise that?
