== Exiting the Location Bar or Search Bar - Keyboard Shortcut ==
It is quite easy to move the focus to the Location Bar (ctrl-L) or the Search Bar (ctrl-K or ctrl-E) from the keyboard, but it is not easy to move the focus back to the main browser window.  The only way I know of is to hit ctrl-F6 a few times, but even that won't get you back to your original location on the page (e.g., if you're typing in a text box, then hit ctrl-L, then hit ctrl-shft-F6, the focus will return to the page, but not to the text box).
I suggest adding a keyboard shortcut which would restore focus to the main window.  Alternatively, or perhaps in addition, hitting "esc" from either the Location Bar of the Search Bar could return you to the main window.
