Can I create a piece of code for my website which focuses the browser url bar (field) so I can directly start typing in a new url?

There could be for example a predefined hotkey which would execute this code.

Background: My (mouse-less) webapp steals the focus when loaded, so keyboard shortcuts can work. Users requested a possibility to easily access the browser url bar by hitting the space key.

Even if it is not possible, I can answer now I tried anything possible. :)

Nope you can't do it with your own code.

In most browsers though, the shortcut is Alt-D
