Bug Description

The Paste and Go button in the urlbar is a curvy arrow, which does not tell the user what is does and is rather mysterious. One might think it means "go," enter an address in the urlbar, press it, and get unexpected results. "Go" is really all a user could think it means, and it should instead have an icon that better represents its paste and go function. A clipboard would be more suited for the paste and go icon.

I recommend using "edit-paste"

maybe a paste icon with a "go" text? or arrow pointing to the right?

This icon seems to have been completely removed in the latest trunk. Is an icon still wanted here?

There still as an icon embedded within the entry.

So I made this icon which may represent what you want, it's a pushpin with some "speed" lines, it makes it look like the pushpin is being thrown, like, straight to the note.

I beg your sorry if my grammar is bad, English is a second language for me, and it's been ages since the last time I did speak it.

I can't seem to find the button, has it been removed? There is a "Paste and proceed" button in the context menu of the url bar (right click), but there doesn't seem to be a curved arrow anywhere other than the one used to reload the page.
