I would really like the option to bypass the automatic "www" and "com" and have the default autocomplete from History, so that I just have to press Return rather than having to press down arrow first.

The first item merely shows what you will get it you hit return--you don't have to select it.

Edit: Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you want here, you want us to automatically choose the top hit of the matching history items instead of having to arrow to it.

Hrm. I'll think about it--but I really hate that behavior personally so I'm pretty sure it won't be the default.

Another problem is that we match anywhere in the url, not just items that have what was typed as a prefix, so it would be hard to go to a new url without something else matching and getting in the way.

The #1 complaint I hear about Safari is this issue. So depending on exactly what he's asking... if it's the more in-line auto-complete rather than having to go down to select something... yeah, bugs many other too.

I'll plug our shortcut feature here as well...

If you have some sites that you go to a lot but don't want to type the whole url or find in bookmarks, you can add a shortcut to the bookmark. So, you could make "g" take you to "www.google.com" or "gm" take you to "www.gmail.com".

Even cooler, you can create search shortcuts so that (for example) to find all the pizza restaurants from www.dexonline.com, all you have to type is "dex pizza".

Or just use a ton of tabs, windows and workspaces... and just have every site up all the time ;)

I know one guy who has, quite possibly, thousands of sites open in different windows, tabs and workspaces.

I stopped using bookmarks altogether--the only bookmarks I use are on the favorites bar.

I just create a new workspace instead of closing windows (actually, I usually do it by holding shift on startup). I got up to "Untitled Workspace 95" on my 10.3 partition on my machine at home.
