Today's Quick Tip....
How to quickly highlight the entire URL in Chrome's address bar
Have you ever tried to highlight a long URL in Chrome's address bar only to end up highlighting part of the URL and leave the rest of the URL untouched?
Well, there's an easy way to quickly highlight the entire URL all at once...
Just press the F6 key.
This method is fast and easy, and it eliminates the need to 'experiment' with the mouse in an effort to find just the right kind of click to get everything highlighted.
Just press the F6 key while using Chrome and it'll highlight the entire URL in one fell swoop so you can copy it to the Clipboard.
