Summary: Hotkey to focus location field?

Initial Comment:
I keep pressing ctrl-L to get to the location field (as in Firefox), but I haven't succeeded so far. For a keyboard user, it is quite annoying to have to grab the mouse all the time.

In BibleTime 2.0.alpha3, ctrl-L seems to be mapped to "Search in currently
selected work".

This is fine, though I'm not sure if it is exactly what the original bug
submitter meant by "get to the location field", which I would read as
meaning "move the cursor to the field in the currently selected work that
contains the book reference" rather than opening a search dialog?

Interestingly, this "open search dialog in the current work" action does
not seem to be in the main menu options anywhere I can find... if it is
worth putting on a hotkey, isn't it also worth adding to the drop-down
Search menu?

Is there a way to display a screen that shows all the hotkeys and what
they do?  Should there be?

For the upcoming version 1.7 (or later) we have to change some hotkeys
anyways, and I agree with this one.
