was needing this for gmail and it works. I have used the Ctrl+B shortcut. Alt+space didn't work for me. Windows 10 btw
Doesn't work to focus the search box on google homepage in chrome 80, just opens up the menu as though I right clicked the top bar.
So far so good. Thanks for creating this extension!
