URLs that cannot be loaded

[Silvio Levy-3]

Dear Conkeror developers

When I mistype my destination - for instance if I want to google John
and mistakenly type

C-x C-f "John J Foerch

instead of the intended

C-x C-f gg "John J Foerch

I get an Alert in a separate window and I'm then redirected to
about:blank.  The string that I typed is apparently lost.  Would it be
possible to have that string preserved somehow, to it can be edited?
(Perhaps instead of a new about;blank tab, which is useless, the new
tab could have as its "URL" the string that I typed, ready to be
edited by find-alternate-url.

Or perhaps there is some other way already?

Thanks,

Silvio

A mis-typed url is not lost at all.  It will be stored in the minibuffer
history, which you can access by running the command again and hitting
M-p.
