I do have completion in this text field.

Sorry, but ~ requires me to press a strange ALTGR-Key on the german keyboard+twice a button that is very out of reach. And / requires the shift key+7 - both not really easy.
But even if that is good, there is still the Problem of missing completion, how should I know I typed correctly?
I hope you see the rationale

With the Gnome filechooser, you can press keys to find a file/folder in the current directory (and press enter to choose, and so on...).
If you start pressing ~ or /, it'll open the same dialog-box than ctrl-L does.
This way you can open files very fast.

Thank you! This has been bothering the heck out of me since Firefox 1.5 was released. I guess I can deal with it better in GIMP since the UI sucks so horribly anyway and I just expect it, but it was killing my Firefox experience.

I'll load this up tonight. Thanks for posting.
