OmniWeb solution
Authored by: ackbar on Aug 01, '02 08:48:37AM

Although OmniWeb does not allow this, you can do (basically) the same thing with the "Shortcut" preference pane, in OmniWeb's preferences. For example, one of the defaults is "google foo" which is a shortcut for the URL for a google search of "foo".

In this instance, you could create a shortcut for "home" or "me" or "/" or whatever, so you wouldn't even have to type "http:///" to get to your local webserver. The shortcuts in OmniWeb speed up my daily surfing considerably, especially for search sites since it eliminates a page load.

Or you could just use http://0/ (zero), which should work on any unixy OS.

There's also 0.0.0.0. When you're connected at 300 baud, you're bound to make up fun ways to shorten things.
