When using your internet browser, using CMD + L jumps your focus to the address bar. It's really useful, especially when referencing information within the current tab while typing into the address bar.

Awesome, I didn't know this. Will have to give it a try.

I'm becoming a keyboard shortcut nut. It makes talking to normal people quite challenging ...

On Mac,Cmd + L will take you to the address bar. But beware, if you switch platforms a lot, WindowsKey + L locks the system and you have to login again to unlock. (On Windows, use Alt + D.)

Context, using an external keyboard, the Command and Windows keys are in the same location....
