Handypants

So I work in the Firefox group at Google, and since every one of my co-workers who has seen me open the search dialog with the keyboard has asked "how did you do that", I figure it's safe to assume that it's not common knowledge: to open or focus the search dialog (that thing in the top-left corner with the Google logo), press Ctrl-K. Ctrl-K is your friend. None of this F6 Tab, or Ctrl-L Tab business. It even works when you've removed the search box from your browser chrome.

I love working at a place where people will stop mid-sentence to ask how to do something they just saw you do out of the corner of their eye, rather than just dismissing it as magic.
