Macos – Keyboard Shortcut to Deselect Omnibox in Chrome

google-chromekeyboard shortcutsmacos

OS X user here. I'm currently learning both Vim and Vimium, it's been really fun. A major annoyance with Chrome is that I can press Cmd+L to highlight the address bar, but I can't unselect it without clicking on anywhere on the page (and resume to normal navigation). How do I (using the keyboard only) unselect the address bar in Chrome?

P.S. Sorry if this has been asked already. I just cannot find the combination of search terms in Google as what I'm searching for is a bit descriptive

Best Answer

I am not a OS X user, but I think this should be the same as in Windows,press the Tab once or more time after selecting the Chrome address bar with Ctrl+L. In Windows pressing F6 once or more times will deselect the omnibox in chrome, but I don't know if this will work also in OS X, it is worth a try.
