Macos – How to get Chrome to auto-complete URL’s

autocompletegoogle-chromemacos

In Safari on OS X, I can just type "cnn" & Safari will fill in the "www." & ".com". How do I get Chrome to do this?

** Edit **
Yes, I know about ctrl+enter, or in my case, Apple-Command+Enter. The point is to not have to do that. With Safari, I don't have to.

The Chrome Omnibar predicts web domains and web searches as you type into it. Once you've visited a site several times, it should start predicting that domain as you begin typing it.

This is somewhat different from other browsers, which search your history for matching patterns (auto-complete). I think this is a trade-off, which makes Chrome more flexible, but increases the amount of time before it "remembers" your favorite sites.
