If you frequent MacSeven you may know that my favorite web browser is Camino. No matter what I try, I never find anything that just feel right the way Camino does.

I recently used Safari for a week or so at work on my Windows machine, one thing that I learned I really liked about Safari is how it does inline autocomplete in the address bar.

Safari has inline autocomplete enabled by default, and Camino, like most browsers, has it disabled by default.

Here is an image showing how Camino defaults, inline autocomplete not enabled:

You can see that as you start typing in a URL, it shows you items from your history under the address bar, you can select from the list. But I much prefer how Safari is by default, with inline autocomplete enabled.

In the image above I enabled inline autocomplete with Camino and now by typing the same three letters as before "mac" it now autocompletes the URL. As you type more the inline autocomplete will continue to narrow your results. I find this to be a much faster and easier way to get to where I want to go.

To enable inline autocomplete in Camino:

1) open a termainal session, and paste in the following line
2) defaults write org.mozilla.camino "Autocomplete While Typing" -bool YES
3) hit Enter, and restart Camino.
