Looks good, Blake.  Although one request I have is, after the document has
either started or finished loading, to hide the Navigation toolbar if it was
hidden before I pressed Accel+L.

What do others think about Dean's idea?

Also, I still need to make the toolbar expand if it's collapsed at the time of 
trying to show the location bar.  Ben's silly toolbar bindings make that harder 
than it seems.

I mentioned this behavior because it already works that if I have the Navigation 
toolbar hidden when I press Accel+L, it shows.  But this raises interesting 
questions about what a user would have to do if s/he typed in an incorrect url.  
Press Accel+L again, ...

Maybe it could hide once it loses focus?  This would depend on another bug I 
just saw about the location field maintaining focus after a typed-in url is 
loaded.

I prefer this suggestion (I'm pretty sure i've said as much and read this 
suggestion before in other bugs, but this one is well worded):

Would it be possible to change things such that CTRL+L gives you the "Open Web 
Location" box if the navigation toolbar is compressed?

There's no functionality lost, since CTRL+L would do nothing otherwise. You 
could either leave the CTRL+SHIFT+L for "open web location", or remove it.

This way, CTRL+L would always have a standard result- a place to type a URL.

See also bug 69099, [RFE] Alt/F10/context menu item to make hidden menubar 
visible.

Does this bug include adding the feature that Ctrl+L makes the location bar 
visible, or is that covered by another bug?

Timeless: the location bar also lets you copy or edit the page URL, something 
the "open web location" dialog doesn't let you do.

Just wondering if there was any movement on this.  Thanks.

does ctrl-shift-L provide the needed functionality, without "fixing" something in the naviagation bar?
