TypeTab lets you quickly enter the URL in new Safari tab [Jailbreak Tweak]

Normally, when you tap on the ‘+’ button in Safari to open a new tab, you will be greeted with a default page that displays all your favorite and frequently visited webpages. TypeTab is a simple jailbreak tweak that lets you quickly enter an address in Safari when a new tab is launched.

The tweak automatically places a typing cursor in the address bar and launches the keyboard whenever a new tab is opened in Safari allowing you to quickly enter your search or URL without doing it manually. Not only this but the tweak also works when you launch the app and the default page is opened.

This will definitely save you some work as most of the times, you’ll want to enter an address after launching a new Safari tab rather than choose a favorite or frequently visited page.

After installing TypeTab, you can get started without configuring the tweak. Simply launch a new tab in Safari and you’ll notice that the tweak automatically inserts a cursor into the address bar and launches the keyboard to type in the search term or URL.

If you frequently browse the web using iOS Safari, you’ll appreciate the little feature offered by TypeTab. The developer also mentions that the tweak is compatible with both iPhone and iPad and if you have an external Bluetooth keyboard attached to your iOS device, TypeTab will work well with the keyboard shortcut that opens a new tab in mobile Safari.

To get your hands on the tweak, TypeTab can be download for free via Cydia’s BigBoss repo.
