today I update to Chrome browser ver. 72.
Before update behavior of keyboard shortcut F6 was same as CTRL+L or ALT+D – it focused to address bar (selected all text in address bar).
After update it changes – now it focus to first tab.
Please how to change the behavior of F6 back?
Thanks,
Jiri

There's no option to change F6 back to the previous behaviour. The good news is that it looks like they are likely to change the behaviour back: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=927004
Update: they have reverted the behaviour change in the source code, so in a new version, F6 will again focus the address bar (omnibox) first. https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1460996
Update 2: it will be fixed in Chrome
