New Tab => change focus to Address Bar

Everytime I add a new tab (CTRL-t), I have to mouseclick in the Addressbar to change the location to the desired.
How about setting the focus on the address bar, so I can press CTRL-T and then just type the new address, without having to touch the mouse?

Since it is specific to your interest, one option is to change the keyboard shortcut for ctrl+t. Assign it to this script in UDC:
Code: Select all
//Open new tab
#340;
//Focus address bar
focus a;

Or Ctrl+Alt+A to focus AB.

I don't use scripting nearly as much as I probably should, but WOW, the power of it is amazing! Being able to do stuff like this is very cool.

Err, could someone, again, instruct me how to use this stuff?
I created a xys-file in the scripts folder. is this the intended way? and now what? how to assign?

you can also enter that 2-line-script directly as a UDC without creating a XYS file:
"User | Manage Commands..." -> Select "Run Script" -> Click on "New". Enter a Caption that you like and the following line under "Script":
Now select a keyboard shortcut, click "Apply" and you are good to go. Execute the script either via your shortcut, or via "User | Run Script | [Your Caption]".

Remove the checkmark "Step through scripts" in menu Scripting. This is only used for testing/debugging scripts.
