Tip #1: To auto-suggest based on your Bookmarked Links use the * character on the address bar which will open a bookmarks’ search

Go to the address bar and type * then space then any word in your bookmark, this will now search and auto-suggest based on your bookmarks only.

Tip #2: To auto-suggest your current Opened Tabs use the % character before typing on the address bar

Type % on the address bar to auto-suggest open tabs. It will auto-suggest and match the current open tabs you have currently open based on what you type.

Tip #3: To auto-suggest your History Links use the `^` character before typing on the address bar

Type the ^ character on the address bar to auto-suggest from your visited history links.

Finally, if you need to go fully mouse-less, you can even click Ctrl+L to jump to the address bar directly.

These tips helped navigate my url’s much more easily. Hope you find them useful.
