Do you have keyboard shortcut?

I have a question - is there a keyboard shortcut that can take me to the search box? When I scroll down to look at a definition I always have to click a mouse button to get my cursor back into the search box but it will be convenient for me if I can just hit a keyboard shortcut to get back into the search box ..... (and also highlight the previous words in the box so I don't have to hit "back" button to erase it)

I'm not sure what page you are asking about.

At the "Translation" page, using Firefox, I can use the "Home" key to return to the search box. "Ctrl+Del" will erase the current entry.

It may be browser and platform dependent.

Good luck!

Hi, yes, on ¨translation¨page ... - manatee74, Jul 25, 2014
oops, I pressed enter before I finish ... anyway, okay, in that page, HOME key does not put my cursor to search box but instead it brings the page back to the top. I would like a shortcut that brings my cursor back inside of the search box. - manatee74, Jul 25, 2014
I tried Ctrl/delete but it didn´t highlight or delete the current entry, either. I use the latest version of Firefox on Windows Vista and 7. - manatee74, Jul 25, 2014
Sorry, it works from my Surface, Windows 8.1. - amaken, Jul 25, 2014
