Find link by pressing "comma"...but dialogue box dissappears too quickly...

Hi,

I recently found out that you can find and open links with the keyboard by pressing "comma", and then typing the name of the link you want followed by Enter. However, I am trying to use this functionality with speech recognition and my software isn't always fast enough to type the link before the box disappears. Is there any way to stop the dialogue box from minimizing itself a few seconds later if it doesn't detect any input?

Cheers!

If the find toolbar disappears too soon after pressing comma, press Ctrl F next time and it will still find text in links. There is no way to change the delay AFAIK.

Thanks, that will work for now. It's strange that Ctrl + F changes from 'find text' to 'find links' after comma has been pressed once before in the browsing session. I don't understand the logic behind that, but I won't complain because it is a reasonable work around for now!

Cheers!
