Plus I make ddg my default browser so I do just go to the address bar put `!yt cats` and get youtube cat videos.
!h searches Hoogle; I would prefer it to search Hacker News. To search Hacker News I have to use !hnsearch or !hn
!hn isn't much larger than !h but is still something I would prefer to set myself.
!m goes to Google Maps but I would prefer to use another map service. I could use !mapquest but would rather it just be !m
!sd goes to Slickdeals instead of Science Daily (which is !sciencedaily , talk about lengthy)

I just compared my keywords and then searched the DDG Bang list for where I would be taken if I had used DDG instead of ones I set myself.

I just type "y cats" and get youtube cat videos. ;)

It sounds like this is a prime use case for text shortcuts such as those built into OS X or Textexpander etc…
Just create a shortcut to transform '!h' to '!hn' or '!sd' to '!sciencedaily'.
>Good thing neither of us have to agree on what keywords to use.
Precisely! :)
What do they think that icon to the right of the tabs is? Just some bit of abstract art? :)
It's a lot like Pressing F11 without the issues that arise when using Full Screen browsing.
