</div></div>The current system (no clear button) is a goddamn pain with X's (admittedly<br>
retarded) handling of copy-paste. I understand the drive for simplicity, but<br>
it should not be an end in itself.<br>
<br>
If anything, you can always make it a button outside the URL bar (like the<br>
reload button), people who do not want it can remove it via the "Configure<br>
toolbars" window.<br>
<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>As we discussed on #rekonq earlier today I'm personally fine with "Ctrl+L, backspace". <br>Your other suggestion to add a button in the UI is pretty much what I was proposing in order to keep things simple and flexible:<br>
<br><elproxy> shadeslayer: Lionel__: guys how about an optional button in the UI that could be next to the urlbar, it's not über-consistent with the other lineedits in KDE, but at least it has the benefit of being optional<br>
<shadeslayer> hmm<br><elproxy> and people could place it elsewhere too, for instance if they want it to the left...<br><shadeslayer> idk .... it can be done<br><shadeslayer> or remove it completely<br>
<elproxy> yes, that is what *I* will do on my machine<br><br>Lionel was considering an optional button still within the url bar.<br><br>Other cool ideas anyone ?<br></div></div><br>Cheers,<br>--<br>Pierre<br>
