I agree a key stroke to place focus on the URL box is a good idea. In Mozilla 
the URL box is also in the keyboard focus cycle. It can be accessed by typing 
<shift><tab> on a fresh page. Pressing <shift><tab> again moves focus to the 
last link on a page.

In addition to this one could consider binding <ctrl>-o to moving focus to the 
URL box and selecting all text therein. I don't see any added value in the 
dialog that is now bound to <ctrl>-o. In fact, the URL box is more useful.
