You can type your URL directly
F6 does the same and is easier (1 fewer button to press :P)
Alt + D is closer to your standard hand placement though ;)
Then again, its a matter of preference, just as much as people would use "Ctrl + S" to save, i'm accustomed to alt + f + s
Actually, i have a funny long story about my alt + f + s abuse, though it is rather "long" i'll save it for later.
