Apple - Chrome: Keyboard shortcut to go to Address Bar?
To switch quickly to the Address Bar use:
- Mac/OS X: ⌘+L
- Win/Linux: Ctrl+L
Catch and remap your keystroke in the browser.
Using Google Chrome 75.0.3770.100 64 bit on a MacOS Mojave 10.14.4.
Chrome should tell you what your shortcut is under File -> Open Location...
:
Clearly the shortcut is command-L
But you want to change that keystroke to be Command-e
, like old times.
- Open
System Preferences
->keyboard
- Go to
Shortcuts
tab ->App Shortcuts
- Click the plus to add a new Application specific key remapping.
- Choose Google Chrome.
- Use the string:
Open Location...
case sensitive, include space and dots. - Use the hotkey detector and type
command-e
. - Click add and close to save. Restart Chrome. Press your new key.
- The
File -> Open Location...
command should be executed.
Visual:
This remap appears to occur somewhere between how the Application negotiates the keymaps between itself and the operating system.
