Guys, it wouldn`t be nice if text in adressbar was editable at ease? Let`s see:

User wanna go to
    www.bol.com.br
But, infortunately, she types:
    www.boll.com.br
Damn! 
That 'w' is 8 backspaces (which is the most used key of rapid but inefficient typists like me) away. Oh no! "Press HOME, then right, right, right, right, right, right, right and DEl, your lazy boy!" you may say. But, guys, listen, what if firefox was smart enough to let me hold down CRTL and press LEFT twice, ãn? 
Not enough motivation? Ok, one more:

User receives an e-mail from a good friend. Friend saying "Hi dumb! See http://concursos.correioweb.com.br/forumconcursos/viewtopic.php?t=61284&start=30  
its nice!"

But server says "No! Your query could not be processed. Go away!"
She wants to know what the heck is that concursos.correioweb.com.br anyway and press CRTL+L, HOME, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT x oo , SHIFT+END, del and WOW! You made a combo! Perfect! 

What about CTRL-L, HOME, CRTL+RIGHT x 5, SHIFT+END, DEl? Nice, ann?

I propose CTRL+RIGHT and CTRL+LEFT stop at . / ? = + and &

What do you say?
