I use <alt>d to select the text in my address bar. If I am on a duckduckgo search results page, it seems this keyboard combination is intercepted and I'm bounced off to one of the results (well, the 'd' on it's own does this too). I can also use <ctrl>l, but I've gotten use to using <alt>d.

[edit] I have bug reported this. They have a very good feedback system on their website.

There's also "F6", which is just a single key. Maybe that will be easier to get used to.

There's also ^L, a chord which I find much easier to type than reaching up three rows to an F key (especially with my caps lock mapped to control).

Regardless, he shouldn't have to change his shortcut because a website (a search engine, no less) hijacks his keys. That's bad UX.
