1. Keyboard Shortcut For Mac

I recently switched from Windows to Mac. One of the things that's really ingrained in my muscle memory is hitting Alt+ D in a browser to go to the address bar. On Mac browsers, ⌘+ D creates a bookmark, the equivalent to move to the address bar is ⌘+ L. I've used the Keyboard pref pane to remap ⌘+ D to the 'Open Location.' Command in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. In Safari this works great.

In both Chrome and Firefox, hitting ⌘+ D now goes to the address bar and creates a bookmark. Is there any way to get this to work properly in Chrome and Firefox? Mac OS 10.7, Chrome 13.0.782.220, Firefox 6.0.2. Unfortunately none of the extensions I have work. However, there is a way to do this in the version of OSX I'm using, at least. Go to Settings-Keyboard-Shortcuts, and then from the list on the left select 'App Shortcuts'.

Click '+' to add a new app shortcut and then select Google Chrome from the list of Apps. Now, you must assign 'Bookmark This Page.' To something else first so that you can truly override command+D. I chose to select shift+command+B.

After that click '+' again, and assign 'Open Location.' To command+D. Now it should work. I can't believe how long it took me to find this answer, I guess everyone else uses Alt+L or Firefox. Thanks to Pysis for their.

Edit: This was so frustrating I made an account just to respond to this.

Keyboard Shortcut For Mac

I don't understand why this addon needs permission to dowload files and change download history. The dev might have his reason and I didn't duck any stars in my review over that but it made me really uncomfortable so I thought I'd mention it. Next, the available actions are quite limited, I just wanted to be able to subsitute Ctrl-H which brings up history sidebar for the history window. It's a pretty basic action and I was suprised to not find it there. Edit Re Dev Reply Thanks that makes sense.
