10.4: Create tab clones via a keyboard shortcut
Authored by: steinah on Apr 18, '06 08:20:32AM

Actually, command+space opens a new tab (without switching from current tab) to whatever URL is currently in the location bar. With this page open, click the location bar and type "apple.com" and hit command+space. The new tab that opens is Apple's page. I guess it's useful if you want to go to a site after looking at the current site, but want it to load in the background.

10.4: Create tab clones via a keyboard shortcut

You can just press command + return to get the same effect if you have spotlight/quicksilver/whatever mapped to that key combination.

10.4: Create tab clones via a keyboard shortcut

The above hint (open whichever URL is in the address bar) works for the Google bar, too...

What is strangest, I think, is that the command + space combo has long been (before quicksilver OR spotlight) the default to switch between keyboard layouts. We must be running out of keys!

Yes. I don't even remember what I changed Spotlight to. I've been using command-option-space, the other default to switch between keyboard layouts (command-space goes the other direction) and command-space for first f12 launch studio, then LaunchBar, then Quicksilver.
