Google Chrome (Mac) set keyboard focus from address bar back to page
I'm using the latest Google Chrome (14.0.835.35) on a Mac (10.6.8)
There are quite often instances where the address bar has focus and I'd like to get back to the main page (so I can use arrow keys and all my Vimium shortcuts) without having to use the mouse and manually clicking somewhere on the page... (pressing Escape would be the obvious shortcut but it doesn't work)
Is there a way round this?

Well I can do it with shift-Tab repeated four times... (I need some 30 or so 'ordinary' tabs to get back to the page as it cycles through all the extensions and then the bookmarks bar first.)

@SheinAlexey, the question is asking for details to come back to the browser contents rather than going to the address bar. So that link doesn't answer this question.

This has annoyed me very much too. Using tab is not always desirable, for example when you're reading a large document. Tab could move away from where you were reading to the first link on the page.
I have found a work-around for the missing hotkey inspired by some of the answers from here: In Mac Chrome, how can I return focus from the address bar to the page?
Typing "javascript:" (without quotes) and then enter will move focus back to the page. OK, so that's one solution. That's however not very nice as you would have to do a lot of typing. Now what you can do is add a new search engine with a short keyword, like "u", and set the search string to be "javascript:". Then you can type in "u" and then enter to move focus back to the page without jumping around.
Edit: Apparently this still gets upvotes. If this really bothers you please let the chrome devs know here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=92885

Such a shame there's no native way of doing such a basic thing. Thanks for the workaround, it works nicely. I've assigned the javascript: search engine to the "l" (lower case L), so I can jump from Developer Tools to the page with "cmd+l l enter".

You can overcome a lot of chrome omnibar limitations with Fauxbar extension. It allows you to open a pop-up addressbar which you can close with escape key. That is besides the fact that it uses firefox algorithm for url lookup, which is awesome and WAY more usable then what omnibar offers.

On Windows at least, I've been using F6 to switch between the URL bar and the rest of the page, also for the purpose of using Vimium. I am not sure if this works on OSX or Linux.
F6 cycles between keyboard accessible panes such as the URL bar, bookmarks, the page itself, and downloads. I generally keep downloads and bookmarks hidden, so F6 acts as a toggle. It's not nearly as clean of a solution as a dedicated "focus to the page" button would be, but I've found it workable.

On Windows at least, I've been using F6 to switch between the URL bar and the rest of the page, also for the purpose of using Vimium. I am not sure if this works on OSX or Linux.
F6 cycles between keyboard accessible panes such as the URL bar, bookmarks, the page itself, and downloads. I generally keep downloads and bookmarks hidden, so F6 acts as a toggle. It's not nearly as clean of a solution as a dedicated "focus to the page" button would be, but I've found it workable.

Doesn't work for me on Windows 7 64 bit using Chrome 17.0.963.78 m. Where did you find out about this?

@PeterNore Works great for me on Windows 7 64-bit, although at the moment I'm running Chromium 19.0.1043.0. I don't remember where I first read it, but I was able to find it on Google just now. Looks like it cycles between bookmarks and downloads too, but I apparently have those hidden.

Doesn't seem to work on Linux, although I can get to my bookmark bar this way.

You can overcome a lot of chrome omnibar limitations with Fauxbar extension. It allows you to open a pop-up addressbar which you can close with escape key. That is besides the fact that it uses firefox algorithm for url lookup, which is awesome and WAY more usable then what omnibar offers.

Have you tried using
Tab?– Digital Plane
Aug 15 '11 at 9:37
Well I can do it with shift-Tab repeated four times... (I need some 30 or so 'ordinary' tabs to get back to the page as it cycles through all the extensions and then the bookmarks bar first.)

⌘-L worked for me. See also superuser.com/questions/310160/… for additional details.

@SheinAlexey, the question is asking for details to come back to the browser contents rather than going to the address bar. So that link doesn't answer this question.

@ChandraMohan Oh, you're right. I misread the question, and typed the solution I was looking myself.
