windows - Chrome's omnibar shortcut, F6 vs Alt-D vs Ctrl-L?


Google Chrome's omnibar can be accessed using either:




  • AltD




  • CtrlL




  • F6




  • (list others in comments if you know of any)




What's the difference between these options?



Answer



Made a quick overview of the shortcuts! The difference is small but it does exist:


All keys do almost the same thing, they get the cursor's focus on the address bar but with the following differences in behaviour:




  • Alt+D works in all situations focusing on the address bar.




  • F6 Circles through the following:


    Address Bar, Bookmarks, New Tab Button, Current Window and Console (if open)


  • Ctrl+E adds a question mark and if a domain is entered it gets searched in Google instead of directly accessing it. It is also intended for other type of entries - see this post.




  • Ctrl+L works as the 'Clear Console' in the console, if open, or focuses the cursor on the address bar otherwise
