This is the behavior in Google Chrome too. When you first click in the URL bar, it normally selects the whole URL, and you have to click again if you want to just edit part of the address. So I think the idea is that when you hit Escape, it allows you to change your mind and go somewhere else entirely after all.\r\n\r\nSo I guess the current Escape key behavior in Location Bar Enhancer fits the usual behavior for the browser. I still think hitting Escape to completely deselect the URL bar and reactivate the extension's enhancements could be a good thing -- but perhaps you would hit Escape a second time to do this."}}
