There are a multitude, an infinity of keyboard shortcuts that make our lives easier all the time.
So many that we often forget them.
Among the ones I forget most often, and yet which are so practical when browsing the web, are the one that lets you go directly to the URL bar and the one that lets you access the browsers’ search bar.
The ATL+D combination lets you access the URL bar directly and edit it.
The CTRL+E key combination lets you access the browser’s search bar directly
Be careful, these keys are tied to their software, and it is only by a kind of tacit convention that browsers implement them or not. For example, these combinations do not work in Opera (but they do in all the others).
