John SiracusaMoving the insertion point long distances in the Safari address bar is one of the most tedious interactions in iOS.
Jeff Johnson@siracusa What if I added an Edit URL button to StopTheMadness? I'm thinking it would open a page in Safari with a big textarea containing the URL, along with several commands: Copy, Open, Remove Parameters.
Cameron Bales@lapcatsoftware @siracusa be still my beating heart.
Remove parameters is probably more useful, but a button to cut to previous / would be nice for old timers like me.
R2@lapcatsoftware @siracusa that sounds actually like a good idea. Anything like this should be better than what we currently have
@lapcatsoftware A custom URL keyboard might also work, with buttons to jump through components or to the start/end of the parts of the URL (scheme, host, path, query string, fragment, etc.)
Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips@siracusa @lapcatsoftware that would be handy, but do keyboard extensions even have that sort of access to the entire string, and the ability to move the cursor? i was under the impression the api was basically just a single method that takes a string and enters it
Marcus Helvig@lapcatsoftware I would love this.
@siracusa I did it. Thanks for the inspiration!

StopTheMadness Mobile makes it easier to edit URLs in Safari https://underpassapp.com/news/2023-4-17.html
Sir DigbyThat is awesome.
Karsten@lapcatsoftware @siracusa you should mention how to „open StopTheMadness“ in the article. It’s not obvious to click on the icon in the address bar to activate StopTheMadness. But thank’s for the feature, it’s been driving me nuts every since.
