Bring focus back to page content from address bar
As a Surfingkeys(or Vimium) user, it’s annoying that focus could not be easily put back to page content with keyboard shortcuts from the address bar.
There are some solutions for this problem
-
to add search engine as below on chrome://settings/searchEngines, then pressing the keyword (such as
;
) andEnter
will bring focus back to page content.This solution has been mentioned on below pages

use
Tab
directly, but it will iterate through all the icons after the address bar, which means you need pressTab
several times depending on how many extensions you have installed in your chrome. Fortunately there is a way to avoid this on Mac, mentioned in chromium-dev google group by taptedIf macOS
System Preferences
->Keyboard
->Shortcuts
->Full Keyboard Access
is set to “Text boxes and lists only”, then Tab from the omnibox should go to the web page.
I personally prefer to solution 2.
