Quick search in Firefox

If you use Firefox, a useful shortcut key is Control + K (Command + K for the Mac). If you type this, the cursor will be put into the web search widget and you can perform a quick web search without having to take your hands off the keyboard. Doesn't sound too exciting I know. But once you get used to it, it makes a surprising difference in how quickly you search.
