Firefox Addon: Keyconfig Bleeping Computer Custom Search Engine: BleepingComputer.xml How to add the Bleeping Computer custom search engine to Firefox's Search Bar: 1. Save the above linked file (bleepingcomputer.xml, you may need to right-click and Save As) to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins (replace "C:" if Firefox is installed on another drive). 2. Restart Firefox. Bleeping Computer should appear in the list of available Search Engines. (Note: The Bleeping Computer custom search only searches the forums and is compatible with any browser that supports OpenSearch including Firefox 2+ and Internet Explorer 7+) Edit: Fixed link to bleepingcomputer.xml This post has been edited by Amazing Andrew: Mar 24 2009, 05:23 PM -------------------- |

For me the the most useful is "Re-open the last closed tab: CTRL + Shift + T", because I sometimes close tabs by mistake, and there is no other way to get it back but "CTRL + Shift + T".

By cursor, do you mean the mouse pointer or the little vertical line that tells you where you're typing? -------------------- |

LOL, the mouse cursor sorta stays where it is. The F6 just highlights the address bar and lets you type the page you want to.
