Andrew: Good point, sometimes I forget there is a separate selection buffer and clipboard in X11.

F6 works on both Konqueror from KDE 3 and Konqueror from KDE 4 (at least on my system), but alt+O only works in KDE 4 (again, on my system).

But oddly, in KDE4′s file dialog, the only way to focus the address bar is ctrl+L. :-(

This is a bug, isn’t it? Or I’m missing something?

I use Ctrl-L when I need to paste something from my middle-mouse select buffer. Selecting then deleting sometimes clears my select buffer. It’s also another key command to hit.

Robin: Thanks for reminding me of it being Alt-O and not Ctrl-O.

pinotree: You’ll note that F6 even works in JuK… ;)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I also agree this should be the default for Ctrl-L.

The konq shortcut annoys me too, although others dont seem to mind.

What I use for focusing and selecting the location bar in Konqueror is F6, that should work almost everywhere out of the box (tested with Konq, IE6, FF3; it does not work with Opera, though).

Thanks for the hint with the konqueror shortcuts.
Being accustomed to Firefox I became slightly frustrated because ctrl-L always deleted the URL.
Actually the other shortcut is Alt-O here (openSUSE 11.1) which behaves exactly like in Firefox. I wonder why that’s not the default for Ctrl-L…
