Yes, absolutely, that avoids the quoting problem, but that requires
even more work:
1) find the web browser
2) put focus on the location bar (Ctrl-L helps in firefox)
3) shift-insert doesn't work in the location bar of my firefox, so I'd
have to use the middle-mouse click
Yes, I'm being nitpicky about being as minimal as possible. But
laziness is a virtue for hackers, right? :)
