Delete specific websites directly from Omnibox
As you type in omnibox the browser suggests several sites you have already visited that are stored in history.
I often see the need and opportunity to delete any of these sites, and it would be great to be able to delete directly from omnibox.
It's possible?
Deleted It is possible! But you'd never know by just using the browser. 😞
Use your keyboard [down arrow] to highlight the link you want to remove. Then press [Shift] + [Delete].
If you think this keyboard shortcut should be written in the URL suggestion bar (image below) so people actually know this feature exists, haha, feel free to give my feature request a like here, or better yet: submit it via the smiley.
ikjadoon This trick doesn't seem to work for me. I am trying to remove some legit websites but mainly some typos that I made at one time or another. Highlighting the item suggestion in the omnibox and hitting Shift/Delete does nothing at all.
Version 79.0.294.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Windows 10 version 1909
O.S. build 18363.388Oh, that's really weird. I'm on dev 79.0.287.3, so a few builds behind your canary, and it's still working here. A regression perhaps? Or something else perhaps using that shortcut?
If anyone on Canary can test, that'd be helpful.
But, yes: there really should be a mouse-based menu for this. A simple right-click context menu would definitely go far and hopefully alleviate where now, we can't even tell why it's failing. 😞
