Chrome support has a list of shortcuts for the Mac version. You will find the ⌘-L shortcut will perform what you are trying to do.

For Windows Chrome, you can also use Ctrl-L and F6 to highlight the address bar.

how to update chrome in Mac to be Ctrl+L – mwafi Jan 31 '15 at 12:41
Command-L will lock MacBooks, so this does not work. – Loolooii Feb 02 '15 at 12:45
⌘-L works great on my MacBook Pro 2015. – krivar Sep 07 '15 at 08:17

It doesn't work on my Mac, perhaps they removed it? – Dec 29 '15 at 01:25
@jasonszhao it works on mine – mgol Oct 26 '16 at 15:49
@m_gol I figured out why it doesn't work. Slate titling window manager was occupying that shortcut. – Oct 28 '16 at 02:43
⌘-L works, but why F6 is not? – Vladimir Vukanac Sep 07 '17 at 20:16
@VladimirVukanac in my case, I need to press F6 two times. First press focuses on the first tab. – Roman Luštrik Apr 21 '19 at 13:14

The keyboard shortcut ⌘L focuses the address bar / search bar / omnibox.

Note that the menu text for this command is:

File > Open Location...

This menu text can be used in System Preferences to bind a different keyboard shortcut.

This has worked fine for me:

I tried Open Location, Open Location... and then File > Open Location... which didn't work

However when I tried Open Location... again it worked

I should say I first assigned the function to a single key such as f10 and checked this worked before trying to get alt + d to work specifically

This was done on Big Sur OpenCore
