I propose that all bookmark keywords, whether they have yet been used in the location bar or not, be included in the location bar's autocomplete list. They could also have a bookmark icon next to them to indicate they are a bookmark and not a URL. The purpose of keywords is to make finding your favorite sites fast and easy. As such, my keywords are usually just the first letter of the bookmarks name (such as "b" for "bugzilla") so that it is, in effect, a hotkey. However, complications arise when I have two bookmarks with the same first letter ("bugzilla" and "Blogger" for example) and I risk losing efficiency or forgetting the keywords because they don't follow the first-letter system. If bookmark keywords where included in the autocomplete box, I could ditch my one-letter rhetoric all together and loose negligible efficiency. I could still enter "b" and then simply select, with a single keystroke, either "bugzilla" or "blogger". Now, wouldn't that be great!?

Adding self to CC and requesting blocking-aviary1.0 It looks like we need a component called something like @mozilla.org/autocomplete/search;1?name=bookmark-keyword that implements the nsiautocomplete* interfaces. We could then add bookmark-keyword to the autocompletesearch attribute to the url textbox in browser.xul.

good idea but it is late in the 1.0 development cycle for adding new features, especially feature without well tested patches.

since we didn't get 1.0 how about 1.1?

Not something we're going to block for, if a patch comes in soonish we may take it.

It would be nice to not just have the bookmark keywords in autocompletion but also every single query that was used with smart keywords. So we do not just have "g" in autocompletion but also "g foo" and "g bar" etc...

Suite bug 101642. Won't be able to do "g foo" or "g bar" while there's bug 196297.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

Bug 392143 would fix this by showing all keywords as part of the autocomplete list letting the user select which one to use.

Tests the functionality added by bug 392143 to make sure multiple keywords show up in the autocomplete.

Unbitrot from bug 392143.

Unbitrot testcase now that it's using the super cool places autocomplete test framework.
