I have a long ugly google url stored in a file. It's stored in a file so if I find a browser that works with javascript and can take an url from a file when the browser gets started and open that url for me I can maybe get this done. The long ugly url is over 200 characters long which is why I would like to avoid keying it all in. I just thought of something. This will even work with firefox but it's only for us braille users who write braille on paper and have plenty of paper. I could rewrite the url on paper so it's split into 5 character groups and have commas separating each of the groups and as I key in each group change the comma to a semicolon so I know that group already got keyed in and move along to the next group.
