Hi all.

I just got my first ever MacBook Air M1 coming from Windows my entire life. Amazing so far, but I do miss some features and shortcuts from Windows. One of them is using a shortcut to go to the address bar.

Think Alt + D in windows.

For Mac, this is achievable by pressing Command + L. For me, this is a stretch because I need to use both hands and with Windows, I got used to just using my left hand.

To change this:

• Go to System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Shortcuts

There, you can change various shortcut keys. For this, we will focus on "App Shortcuts."

• Go to App Shortcuts >> press the "+" icon >> select "Safari" on the dropdown application menu

For the menu title, I have read that it has to be exact.

• Set the menu title to "Open Location..." (make sure to include the three dots)

• Hit command + D in the keyboard shortcut box and click "add."

Now, you're done remapping but this time, the add bookmark shortcut will be simultaneously pressed because command + D is a default shortcut for adding to bookmarks in Safari.

Change this by doing the exact same steps but this time:

• Put "Add Bookmark..." as the menu title (include the three dots)

• and hit Command + B (or whatever shortcut you want to assign it to).

And, if all done correctly, it should work!

This post might be disorganized for some people but I'll be happy to answer any confusion.
