Efficiency Tip #53 – Select – Type

As web users, we spend a lot of time typing things into a browser.  I have talked about reducing your typing using Ctrl-Enter. Here is another “URL” time saver. 

I have seen many people spend too much time entering a URL. The box at the right shows a “selected” URL.  A “selected” URL is one that has been high-lighted. Once it is high-lighted, you can immediately start typing the destination URL.  You don’t have to press the Delete key.  Typing anything will replace all that is high-lighted.
