Ctrl+Enter Address Completion

Many people have asked for a way to do address completion using Ctrl+Enter a la IE. Well, thanks to the investigative work of Lee Harvey, Steven V. Gunhouse, and Lauri Raittila from the Opera newsgroups, we now have a good way to do this.

In the keyboard editor, go to the Document window section and add a new shortcut for "enter ctrl". Then, enter the command 'Search, "http://www.%s.com/"'. Now, this shouldn't interfere with Wand, as long as focus is in the address bar.

You can also add commands for other address endings, like .net, .org, .co.uk, etc. Enjoy!
