I'd been ommitting the ctrl-t step, so I had to click | at the end of the current URL and backspace to the beginning, frequently | highliting part of it by mistake and losing the buffer I wanted to | paste... Ctrl-U is your friend. No need to backspace when "kill" works in X just as well as in a terminal. (just don't use a windows machine -- it doesn't work that way =p) Just be careful when you click (in the url bar) to click and not hold-and-drag. It may also help if you click beyond the last character in the current address. -D -- "...the word HACK is used as a verb to indicate a massive amount of nerd-like effort." -Harley Hahn, A Student's Guide to Unix http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
