In Safari how do I set my cursor to be in the URL bar, not the search engine
I am updating the information posted by JNM554 here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250316292?login=true
The default behaviour of Safari when opening a new tab or window is to position your cursor in the search_engine_of_your choice search box. This frustrated me if I know the URL I am after.
e.g. I am using google as my search engine, but I know ebay.co.uk is the URL I want, the default behaviour in Safari is to position my cursor in the google search box, not the top search bar.
It is easy to fix this,
- open safari preferences
- In the general tab change the "New tabs open with:" from Homepage to "Empty Page"
- Do the same for the "New windows open with:" if that is your desire.
I hope this helps others.
