Request new feature - Append .com after URL is entered

[martyxxx]

Some browsers such as Flashpeak's Slimbrowser permit the user to enter the URL without requiring a .com or a .net to be entered. Can this feature also be provided by Slimjet?

how would it know the difference between a website name without the .com or .net etcetera....versus a search I might be doing in the address bar?

Slimbrowser allows a user to set the autocomplete for this capability. It also provides an additional area to the right of the location where the URL is entered to be used for searching. Works real great.

If you mean having a separate search field like all broswers have, to the right side of the address field - I always shut that off....like to do my searches from the address bar (probably because I've done it that way for years and am used to where to go to! )

Sounds like a decent option but would not work for me if the case...

... or are you suggesting the address bar itself is partially split?

[martyxxx]

No. Just have side by side areas.

I would recommend implementing as an option. I am always forgetting to type the URL (minus the .com) and then hitting control-enter

Can't you use the "Type short alias instead of long URLs or commands to save time: alias definitions" for a temp fix.

[martyxxx]

I already use aliases for sites. The scenario is for one time (or rarely used) sites where I am making a type-in.

It's already set up to add .com if you hit CTRL-Enter, if that's what you mean. Opera used to have three such hotkeys, for .com, .net, .org, for example, all configurable, but I don't think we have that yet.

[martyxxx]

I am aware of Ctrl enter. Slimbrowser for instance permits me to enter flashpeak in the URL and it will propogate .com without a need to enter ctlr-enter.
