What's the keyboard shortcut to focus/select the address bar in Total Commander (or Double Commander, Norton Commander e.g., any of its clones)?

enter image description here

In browsers it's usually ctrl+L If it doesn't exist, can it be configured? The options only offer cm_FocusCmdLine (shift+F2), but no command to focus the address bar.

What's the keyboard shortcut to focus/select the address bar in Total Commander?

I cannot find an easy way to get my cursor into the directory/address bar to immediately start typing a network path or directory, I have to click once or twice to get it editable.

Press Shift+F6 while focus is on [..] item.

...

Or assign the command cm_EditPath to a shortcut, an alias, a button or a menu item.

Following the advice from https://chodounsky.net/2013/08/02/access-total-commander-path-with-shortcut, here's how you can set Ctrl+L to go to the address bar in Total Commander:

Configuration->Options->Misc->Redefine hotkeys, then set to Ctrl+L, choose the command to be cm_EditPath, and click the tick icon:
