Chrome support has a list of shortcuts for the Mac version. You will find the -L shortcut will perform what you are trying to do.

For Windows Chrome, you can also use Ctrl-L and F6 to highlight the address bar.

1how to update chrome in Mac to be Ctrl+L – mwafi – 2015-01-31T12:41:26.180

Command-L will lock MacBooks, so this does not work. – Loolooii – 2015-02-02T12:45:50.920

⌘-L works great on my MacBook Pro 2015. – krivar – 2015-09-07T08:17:46.223

Ctrl+L on Ubuntu – Daniel – 2015-10-22T18:13:04.083

1It doesn't work on my Mac, perhaps they removed it? – jasonszhao – 2015-12-29T01:25:56.267

@jasonszhao it works on mine – mgol – 2016-10-26T15:49:05.407

@m_gol I figured out why it doesn't work. Slate titling window manager was occupying that shortcut. – jasonszhao – 2016-10-28T02:43:30.160

⌘-L works, but why F6 is not? – Vladimir Vukanac – 2017-09-07T20:16:15.560

@VladimirVukanac in my case, I need to press F6 two times. First press focuses on the first tab. – Roman Luštrik – 2019-04-21T13:14:01.153

thank you very much! and the list is just what i wanted! – js_ – 2011-07-13T16:16:45.547

The keyboard shortcut L focuses the address bar / search bar / omnibox.

Note that the menu text for this command is:

File > Open Location...

This menu text can be used in System Preferences to bind a different keyboard shortcut.
