Google Toolbar Tips
Apr 06, 2006, 03:32am EDT
Whew, we launched a beta of Google Toolbar for Firefox. New features include the ability to set mailto: to go to gmail and integration of the anti-phishing extension.
For power users, here’s a list of a few keyboard shortcuts:
- alt+s to focus the search box
- alt+enter to open the search in a new tab (this is the same as Firefox’s built-in search box
- shift+enter to do an “I’m Feeling Lucky” search
Additionally, some of the features are tweakable in about:config.
google.toolbar.blogthis_urlchanges the BlogThis! url. $1 is the URL, $2 is the page title, and $3 is any selected text.google.toolbar.mailto.*changes the mailto handling. You can add providers to the list. Add a new provider (e.g.,google.toolbar.mailto.providers.yahoo= [url]) then set the default atgoogle.toolbar.mailto.default.
Enjoy!

hey,
how hard would it to write an ff extension that saves the font size i set manually for a given domain or other prefix pattern matched on the URL?
i hate setting it manually every time i go back to the same page, but there’s no uniform text size that works for every web page.

Site specific CSS is available in Firefox 1.5.

I have installed the firefox extension called Sage and its window is activated when I press the Alt+S keys, so how do I remap the key for focussing on the google-toolbar search space to some other key combination ?
