The Ctrl+Enter which usually completes the .com URLs stopped working.

I always used this functionality, which is great, by just typing the domain, hitting Ctrl+Enter it would auto-complete the whole URL, well, not any more and I miss it!!!

Any advice on how to get it back to work?

Thanks,
MJ

Mm I thought it was shift and enter. Then again, I haven't used IE in ages.
Also, it only adds www. and .com, not helpful if you want to go a .org .nz .tk or any other site.
I don't see why it would stop working on you, unless you installed any programs which may have edited your keyboard layout?

Yes indeed, it is Ctrl+Enter and since most of my net surfing is .com it comes very handy, and no, I didn't install any program that could change my keyboard configuration, thanks anyways.

Any other suggestion?

Happy New Year!!!!!

Here's a reply I just received....not too promising....

******************************************
Hi Steve,

sorry for the late reply. I see what you mean now, unfortunately I have limited ideas why the shortcut keys wont work in IE.

Make sure StickyKeys is off in Accessibilty Options.
Control Panel, Accessibility Options, Make sure the box to "Use Sticky Keys" isnt checked.

I thought there's a way to edit the shortcuts or some commands in IE, unfortunately, i dont know how and tried searching for it and didnt obtain the answer.

Lastly, did u know that Firefox offers the same option(s) or shortcut(s)? and as many of us knows that Firefox is a better option than IE.

You can download Fx here:
And keyboard shortcuts info can be found here: http://www.mozilla.o...irefox/keyboard

Hope someone knows how to get around the issue you have, but better yet, start using firefox > .

******************************************
If you hear anything else, please let me know. I'll do likewise.

< Steve >
