I agree, hijacking is good when it leads to the expected user behaviour. I kept pressing tab to auto-complete the command, but the cursor jumped to the address bar.

I kept pressing up to retrieve my last command.

There we go, I opened this thread with two things in mind that immediately struck me - tab completion and pressing up for previous command and those two are the top comments!

I am in ok with hijacking tab in general. The fact that tab doesn't act as a tab key in text areas is one of the most annoying things about the web.

Also consider auto focusing the field when the page loads

thanks for the input, yes definitely planning to do this

If you do, please check the various meta keys. Hijacking tab is expected here, but not cmd-/alt-tab etc.

nice! this is a fun project so I ma glad you are wanting to go further with it.

I immediately tripped on the autocomplete issue. Still, a super neat thing.

Also CMD+K to clear window

isn't it Ctrl+L
