Mac Safari shortcuts FAQ: What are the most common Mac Safari shortcuts (Mac Safari keyboard shortcuts)?

Here's a quick list of the most common Mac Safari shortcuts (Mac Safari keyboard shortcuts):

[Command][L]       Put focus in the Safari address/URL field
[Alt][Command][F]  Put focus in the Google search field

[Command][N]       Create a new window

Note that you don't have to use capital letters with these Safari shortcuts; I just used them because they are easier to read than their lowercase equivalents (especially the 'l' versus 'L').

The Safari shortcuts for the address field and Safari search field are probably the most asked Mac Safari shortcuts.
