you can shorten web addresses (url´s) with 3 steps less

to do
→ set  the cursor  to the end of your desired  addr.
→ hit  [rwin]   or  [ins]  or the mouse middle button
 after you have downloaded one of the 3 AutoHotkey scripts to your Startup folder.   The script will insert "#" and sends the "ENTER" command
      on some keyboards you can do the script job with one hand movement, if  "#" or "?" is located beside  the "ENTER" key

the scripts are helpfull too if you intent to switch to another user or dir  Type only the  user or dir name  and hit one of the keys
                                                           i.e.      flic.kr/addressTRICK#streetart
