Comment #84 on issue 26140 by dckorah: Chrome Linux single click does not select all http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140
Like some of the users said; Google made us all use the addictive way of getting around the web using keywords ( not in the negative sense ), so how often do we work directly with URLs. To go with those keywords, google made the great thing called omni bar (great!!); even though omnibar doesnt support keyword browsing ( yes I know, it does with some tweaks ), it helps reducing the UI clutter by merging search box and address bar together ( great !!! ). Still how often do we type in a URL to get to a page; when ever we click on the omnibar, we either do that to start a new search or (rarely) to type in a new URL. In my case for the later one, I mostly start a new tab which will have the omnibar cleared anyways! If my argument stands; why do we need to double click or triple click to make select all?! One thing I do like is that still for those who minimise browsing with mouse and use keyboard for getting to the omnibar, it still works and behaved with a select-all. But when I am lazy to use keyboard ( more likely ), I hate it when I have to do multiple clicks!!! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
