Usefull search tricks for #Firefox Users:
Start typing your search with ^ to show only matches in your browsing history.
* to show only matches in your bookmarks.
% to show only matches in your currently open tabs.
# to show only matches where every search term is part of the title or part of a tag.
$ to show only matches where every search term is part of the web address (URL).
@Ruhrnalist oof, if only they’d used something memorable. Random line-noise symbols remind me of Ruby’s inscrutable syntax.
Why not h for history, b for bookmarks, o for open tabs, etc? Would need a prefix or something to differentiate perhaps, and localisation… but the ability to actually remember the letters would make the feature infinitely more useable.
@Drarok @Ruhrnalist
Don't localize shortcuts like that. It's horrible. To find out, you need to search for them in the same language your browser is set to, and if you change language - or use a browser on a different computer - they suddenly all change.
@jannem but then if bookmarks starts with a z in your language, how do you remember it’s supposed to be a b?
@Drarok
You just remember. Just like you remember that ctrl-c and ctrl-v is copy and paste. You have no problem remembering ctrl-v have you? Even though "v" doesn't suggest pasting in any way.
When you're multilingual you want to learn shortcuts one time only, not once for each language
