Query box filler deletion in Chrome

It's not autofill, it's not under search engines, and it's not search suggestions, but if there's a box on the web where you can enter a URL, Chrome remembers stuff you put there. And if you put some horrible (e.g. misspelled) URL in once, it's a mofo to find out how to make Chrome forget about it. I've done this dance before. This time I'm writing it down. It's Alt-Shift-Backspace. Use arrow keys to highlight the bogus entry in the list, and Alt-Shift-Backspace it to death.

Hard-won technical knowledge, old rants, and broken links from 10 years ago. I should not have to explain this in the 21st century, but no, I do not actually believe the world is flat.
