Address Bar in Chrome (Windows)
Press Ctrl + L to put the cursor in the address bar and select what is in it.
What it does
With the address selected, the next thing you type replaces it: a web address, or words to search for. The address bar also searches your bookmarks, your history and your open tabs as you type, and shows the matches under the field. Press Escape to leave the field and keep the address that was there.
