DELETE AUTOFILL ON MAC OS FOR CHROME HOW TO
I think Chrome’s autocomplete feature is quite handy for the needs of most power-surfers, but occasionally, there is a slip of the keystroke and knowing how to delete an autocomplete entry on a Mac is helpful. There are probably a few hundred sites I frequent during a typical day of browsing, having to scroll through bookmarks does not sound like a robust solution. Since “” was already highlighted, pressing the Delete key has now removed it from the URL bar and now upon pressing “Return/Enter” Chrome will search Google for the word “face”. You should also notice that during autocomplete Chrome will actually have the remainder of an autocomplete URL highlighted, this allows you to easily exit the autocomplete process and search the web using just two keystrokes.įor example, type the word “face” and then press the “Delete” key. Now, you might need to wait a bit, or restart the browser to see it removed but I found it to work perfectly.ĭid this work for you? Let me know in the comments.īut of course, if you search the web for “face” you will only discover that Facebook is the first result 🙂 On a Mac, you need to highlight the entry and then press Fn + Shift + Del. But us Mac users have an extra step that no one seems to be talking about. You simply highlight the entry and press Shift + Delete.
DELETE AUTOFILL ON MAC OS FOR CHROME PC
On a PC everyone seems to have the answer. Yikes! How do we remove that darn fa entry now showing above the actual entry we want? Now, you might need to wait a bit, or restart the browser to see it removed but I. Oops! Now you’ve just asked your browser to visit fa (which does not exist) and from this point on will show up as the second auto-complete option. On a Mac, you need to highlight the entry and then press Fn + Shift + Del. That’s not good when you’re used to typing fa and rapidly pressing Enter.
Some users are reporting that when you first startup Safari or Chrome on a Mac the browser may take a while to load those auto-complete gems from your history. So you type the letters fa in your browser’s address bar and *bam!* the URL auto-completes to read. Let’s imagine you love to browse with Chrome on your beloved Mac and you frequently visit Facebook.
If you’re at all like me, you get very annoyed at little things 🙂 The Scenario
