An access key wouldn't hurt, though I don't recall ever hearing of someone using them in practice. Just be careful of your hands if you're pressing three-simultaneous-key combinations a lot<br>

BTW, I blogged an alternative a couple years ago, pasted below. Instead of "plt", now, I use "r" for Racket documentation. Usually I do Ctrl-T to get a new tab, so I don't have to make a decision on whether to replace the contents of the current tab, and which also leaves the text cursor in the AwesomeBar, ready to type my "r" search.<br>

But for me it would work better to use it against <a href="http://docs.racket-lang.org">docs.racket-lang.org</a>, so that synchronizing bookmarks across the systems that I use would work. Still, whenever I use a browser without my bookmark it will fail.</div>

They can still click on the search box, tab/shift+tab until it is focused, or use Neil's alternative.</div>
