No. The only thing the URL bar (Ctrl-L) is used for is to navigate to explicitly typed URLs or URLs in your browser-history.

The search bar (Ctrl-K) is used for searching.

Having 2 distinct bars and keyboard shortcuts for 2 distinct actions makes all this mess they are trying to “solve” with this mega-bar go away.

I don't want any of that. I don't need it. I will disable it and userChrome.css all and everything I can of it away.

God damn it.
