You can switch to the location bar in this case.  Shortcuts will still
remain the sames, but you will be able to triple click the address bar
and type whatever location you had like to go.

Oh, ugly.  I don't see the need for this since you can easily switch
between "Tree pane" (Ctrl+T) and "Bookmark pane" (Ctrl+B).  Yes, it's
another shortcut to learn, I hope you won't hyperventilate.
