A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Wtf? Yall have been using Search Engines to go to websites you've been to before? Why even, just type the url in...
"ne" presses enter for netflix.com
"l" presses enter for lemmy.world
Auto completing urls are so fast.
Truth, but it's three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!
Idk dude, I feel like there is more wrist movement involved in mouse control than typing.
I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.
All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI ... when half the fields still require typing information in.
I still find myself tabbing while signing in but it almost never works.
Unless you're like me with folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders of bookmarks. Sometimes it's easier to just search. It would be great if I can do a search within my bookmarks!
Firefox can search your bookmarks. I'd be surprised if another browser couldn't, but it probably isn't as easy as just using the address bar
I was only joking but you're right, this is already a thing, for Chrome too. TIL.
For any Chrome users here, type @bookmarks before your search in the address bar.
