I should probably mention. In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, CTRL-L is
set (it was the default I think) to clear the Search Bar. However, it
does not clear the Search Bar. I have tried with the focus on an
entry, and I have tried with the focus on the Search Bar. CTRL-L will
not clear it. I'm assuming that if a shortcut will clear the bar, it
will focus the bar as well.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
