Delete specific websites directly from Omnibox
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 18363.388
Oh, 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. 😞
ikjadoon Yeah, something like this would be nice:
ikjadoon It sure looks like something got lost along the way, I tried every possible key combination ( Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Fn, Winkey) with the Delete key and none of them work. Hope they get this fixed. I love your right click suggestion. HotCakeX could you confirm this problem on your Canary setup please?
Jacques Van de Meerssche That's real weird. Thanks for the troubleshooting, HotCakeX
Hopefully they can address it w/ the logging from the bug report.
Chrome (Chromium?) does have a few restrictions about what SHIFT + DEL can clear, apparently, which if/when Edge's team attacks this issue should resolve: https://superuser.com/questions/398385/deleting-a-specific-url-suggestion-in-chrome pages in history, etc.
