Select ONLY the address bar in Chrome using Alt + D on Linux?

Question

It's quite easy on Windows to go to the Google Chrome's address bar using Alt + D.

Whenever, I was trying to use the same on Ubuntu Linux, not only the address bar is getting selected but also the command acceptor:

How do you select ONLY the address bar in Chrome on Linux?

Control+L like any other browser doesn't work? – xangua Jan 26 '16 at 16:21 — xangua, Jan 26 '16 at 16:21

There are two options:

Alt+D should also work if you hold down Alt and then hit D

It would be cool, if could I could give you +2. This works with just single button. – Zameer Ansari Jan 26 '16 at 16:24

Could you address OP's point about the "command acceptor"? Is that the HUD which, IIRC, is invoked by pressing the (left?) alt key? (I use Lubuntu which doesn't have Unity's HUD.) – DK Bose Jan 26 '16 at 16:48
@DK Bose. You're right. It's the HUD. – Ron Jan 27 '16 at 08:42

I went to setting and found that ALT+D was assigned to another function (KDE activiteies). I changed this to another shortcut and now It works.
