In Firefox 1.5, to put focus to the URL bar on my Mac, the command is Apple + L. Since I’m using a “designed for Windows” Logitech wireless desktop on my Mac, the Apple key is substituted for the Windows key. So at home, to put focus to the URL bar, the shortcut is Windows + L.
So what happens when I get into work, and use Firefox on my work computer? That’s right, I do Windows + L to put focus the URL bar everytime I want a new URL. But any Windows user will know that, in XP, Windows + L is a shortcut to lock the computer. So every time I try and get a new webpage, instead I get a locked computer. D’oh.
Alt + D on Windows gets the focus on the URL bar.
Yeh, I know that. But since by habit I hit Windows + L , I get a locked computer…
