Internet Explorer - one less reason to use your mouse

This is such a dumb tip but I have to share it. Ever wondered how to navigate to a new page in Internet Explorer 7 without using your mouse to click in the navigation bar? I have seen people use it before and probably if I would have remembered, I would have used it a lot more. But today, I was doing a lot of URL typing and I started to get annoyed to I looked for the shortcut.

By hitting Ctrl - O (open command in IE), a small dialog box is opened with your cursor already placed in the navigation field ready to type in your URL. Type your URL and hit enter and the dialog is immediately closed and your currently opened browser is navigated to the new URL.

So simple and yet so useful!
