There's no UI hint about Ctrl+L either. If the user didn't know it from other
browsers, he'd never find out.

There's also Ctrl+R for reload, btw.

In any case, despite being unnecessary, I'm not opposing. Konqueror at least
doesn't have the Firefox mis-feature of copying the location address to
PRIMARY when you hit Ctrl+L/Alt+o. With Firefox, if you want to erase the
address to be able to MMB-paste, you must not use Ctrl+L, or you'll lose
whatever you were going to paste.
