Stupid localhost question

I use Opera and keywords for my browsing. So "bd" in Opera loads up this site, "gm" loads up my gmail and "hx" loads up the Hexus.net forums and so on.

This works well apart from some skill I've picked up where I'll type "fm" for Fastmail.fm or "gm" for Gmail as I said earlier. However I seem to manage to press control+enter on these keywords and instead of Fastmail.fm I get "fm.com" and "gm.com" instead of gmail.com.

Now I reckon I could fix this by doing something to my localhost file so that when I accidently request fm.com or gm.com I actually get my PC/Opera to go to fastmail.fm and gmail.com.

I did have a go at this a while ago but it didn't work. Meaning I did it wrong most likely. Anyone fancy telling me how to do it propah?
