        @cyberkiller or use Ctrl + L, has the advantage that you can also use it to switch back and it is the same shortcut as in your browser.

        ... And Ctrl-L works also in #Nautilus! Good for your muscle-memory

              There is this nifty feature in some window managers where one can switch between windows of the same application. Is there a way in !kde?

                  The next step for !Choqok should be Google+ integration, when the API becomes available, of course.

                    @rajitsingh 1 GiB netbook. But back home, in a 2 GiB computer, #Nepomuk was using 1.5 GiB together with an #Akonadi process it triggered.
