Alt+D overrides native browser keyboard shortcut

[myfonj]

Alt+D shortcut introduced in #843 prevents its standard behavior: Select Location Bar in Firefox / Jump to the address bar in Google Chrome, which apparently originates from Internet Explorer.

Creating issue to keep track; personally I'd like to have this removed or remapped to say alt+shift+d or made optional. Workarounds exists.

You can also use Ctrl+L to focus the address bar.

Sure, or F6 (like was described in referenced issue and docs) or tab to there, or use mouse or just open new tab and THEN begin to type in the address bar like a normal person for god's sake.

In fact I'm doing exactly what you propose, with aid of global keyboard fix [1] based on by tophf's code from the original issue. It's really hard to change old habits. And yes, it's also hard to make keyboard-driven UI that will not offend someone, nowadays. Sadly.
