Brent Simmons recently noticed that Safari's toolbar shortcuts are assigned keyboard shortcuts, command-1 through 9.

I too had a recent Safari epiphany. Since I switched, I've been routinely aggravated by Safari's ineptitude in completing URLs typed into the location bar, something IE did aggressively and well. Safari's failings in this area include a lazy assumption that it should autocomplete only from the beginning of any matched text, and a failure to match any text from the HTML title.

I just noticed a day or so ago that I can bring up the weird in-window bookmark display and perform a command-F search on the browser history, matching any part of the URL and the page title. It even supports command-shift-G to locate the previous match. This is delightful, however, I still haven't found a way to bring up my selected page using the keyboard. Only doubleclicking seems to work. 02:49PM «
