Ctrl+L to focus & select path in address bar (Catalog view, browse boxes, etc)

I would really appreciate the ability to use the standard Windows keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L to focus and select the path in the address bar in ArcGIS Pro. This would enable much quicker copying and pasting of links without having to touch, move, and click the mouse. The shortcut is invaluable in places like File Explorer & web browsers; the lack of support for this elementary shortcut in Pro is a bit maddening. Please consider getting Pro up to speed in this regard -- thanks.

Hi @wayfaringrob

I wanted to share that, for now, Alt+F5 is the shortcut assigned to "Go to the location bar": https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/arcgis-pro-keyboard-shortcuts.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F4F5863F0E47493A9C65B5AD07B4BFE9

We are working on an updated keyboard shortcut experience that should allow the customization of that in the near future (i.e. you could set that that Ctrl+L). But for now, I at least wanted to share the existing shortcut today.

@wayfaringrob This is implemented in ArcGIS Pro 3.2.

The default shortcut to go to the location bar was updated to Ctrl+L and that can of course be modified if needed.

Here is an image of the new keyboard shortcuts dialog.

Check out the Use keyboard shortcuts help for an explanation of the new contextual framework.
