Default to web search

[mcquicker]

I love FARR and have one question:

Is there a way that when I click the hotkeys ctrl-space it automatically does a web search without having to type in "s" or "search"?

All the searches I do are on the web, so I'm trying to eliminate that middle step.

Many thanks in advance,
Peter

Yes, what you can do is easy.  Just go to the hotkeys tab, and right-click to create a new hotkey entry, or just edit the one for Ctrl+Space.

Then configure that hotkey so that in the "Text for Search Edit Box" is the next you'd like to start out on the FARR search line when it triggers; in your case whatever initial text you need to launch a web search.
