I just tried it and while I'd want to like it, the very basic requirement of exposing a certain menu item is missing.

I'm looking for "Open Location..." so I can bind it to some shortcut but I can't even find it anywhere. What's up with that.

Are you trying to find that within the app or by right clicking a shortcut on a desktop/search result in your OS? I've never heard of someone expecting that option to be available from within the application. And even so, that seems like an absurd thing to cause you to throw your hands up and say to hell with the rest of it.

No, this is in the menu bar of OSX that shows [File, Edit, View...] of which should embed an item that says "Open Location...". It is there for Safari and Chrome. This isn't just any item, it allows quick access to the omnibar. As it is, it defaults to command+L and I want to map that.

It is part of the application and it use to be there. The fact it regressed in feature is unfortunate but more so the shortcut allows me to perform quicksearch on the omnibar which is actually very important to have. (Instead of using the mouse to click on it). Just because you have never heard of someone using it, please don't downplay its importance to others. It can be a make or break feature.
