Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19446

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

[Chad Austin]

Just like IE and K-Meleon do, pressing ALT+D in any browser window should give 
focus to the URL bar and select all of its text.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any browser window
2. press ALT+D


Actual Results:  nothing

Expected Results:  Keyboard focus should be given to the URL bar and all of the 
text should be selected.

control-l currently does this. I don't think we need another key.

Comment 2

Why was CTRL+L chosen instead of ALT+D (already an arguably de facto standard)? 
 I don't know what the browsers on Mac/Linux use.

Because Alt-whatever should not execute an action.  It should open a menu...

NS 4.x on linux has no keybinding to focus the URL bar, fwiw.

Boris: Okay, I agree with you there.  Feel free to mark this is invalid.  Or a 
duplicate of bug 19446?

I think marking this duplicate is the way to go...  Though I definitely see why
people would want alt+D to do this, that's also being discussed in bug 19446
