Normally, chrome settings can be accessed by either:
- typing
chrome://settings/
on the omnibar or - by click on the "customize and control" button (aka 3 dot button) on the top right corner of chrome to access the chrome menu.
With the settings below, we can perform the same actions in 4 keystrokes or less
CTRL + L + S + Enter
Steps
- go to
chrome://settings/searchEngines
- click "add"
- enter the following
// Search Engine:
Chrome Settings
// Keyword:
s
//URL with %s in place of query
chrome://settings/
CTRL + L + E + Enter
Steps
- go to
chrome://settings/searchEngines
- click "add"
- enter the following
// Search Engine:
Chrome Settings
// Keyword:
s
//URL with %s in place of query
chrome://extensions/
The same idea can also be extended to other chrome urls, or even regular websites that you visit often.
