Hello,

I am new to K-Meleon. I want to have the "Alt+D" shortcut for highlighting the url in the URL bar just like IE. What's the macro command for "highlighting the text in the URL bar"?

Thank you very much!!

In IE I use [F6] and so do I in K-M. But you can change this shortcut or add [Alt]&[D] if you want to (in accel.cfg).

Thank you ra!

I'd like to add this to the accel.cfg but I don't know what's the function for highlighting the URL bar, do you know?

Thank you again!

Cheng:

In order to add Alt + D to go to the URL bar, and, have it 'select' the text . . . from the Menu:

Edit -> Configuration -> Accelerators

scroll to bottom, and add a new line as:

ALT D = ID_SELECT_URL

save the file . . . restart K-Meleon . . . and . . . then . . . Alt + D ( or F6 ) will take you to the URL bar, and, select the text there.

Glad the above worked for you, and, yes, you are correct. My post should have said:

ALT D = ID_SELECT_URL

I did 'edit' it with the correction, for anyone else reading this thread.

Glad K-Meleon is working as you want.

Please note . . . a list of other "Command Lists" ( like ID_SELECT_URL ) can be found from the Menu:

Edit -> Configuration -> Commands List

Welcome to the world of K-Meleon.
