I use Windows and Firefox at work and I've grown accustomed to using keyboard shortcuts in Firefox: - Ctrl + L to go to the location bar - Ctrl + T to create a new tab - So on... Luckily this translates well when I go home and browse with Safari EXCEPT for the Google search keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + K on Firefox). In Safari, the shortcut for Google search is Cmd + Shift + F by default and this three-fingered operation just irritated me to no end; until I finally decided to do something about it. You can easily re-assign a shortcut key for Safari Google Search in OS X: 1) Open "Control Panel -> Keyboard & Mouse" 2) Choose the "Keyboard Shorcuts" tab 3) Click on the "+" icon to add a new shortcut 4) Choose Safari as the Application you wish to assign a new shortcut for 5) Type "Google Search..." in the "Menu Title" field 6) Type Cmd+K as the Keyboard shortcut 7) Restart the Safari application (if it's open) Voila! I can now access the Google Search box in Safari using the Cmd+K keys (consistent with Firefox).
