As of Safari 8 on OS X Yosemite, URLs in the URL bar are displayed centered. This looks really nice, but I’m a web developer and I often need to change just part of an URL to test something. To do that, I need to click somewhere on the URL, reposition my cursor over the newly-left-aligned address, and then click again to place the insertion point.
Is there a way to get Safari to display URLs left-aligned all the time?

Not sure it's exactly what you want, but Cmd ⌘ L will select & left align, same as if you'd clicked it - so you could do it as you're mousing towards it.
