Make a quick web address change

This is actually my favorite feature in Safari: If you double-click between www and .com, it selects just the domain so you can change it. This means you don't have to drag the mouse across tiny little letters when you want to change the address. Try it.

And don't forget you never need to type “http://.” If it's a .com address, all you need to type is the main word. For instance, to go to www.apple.com, just select everything in the location bar, type apple, then hit Return.
