The Alt d has always worked for me and it worked here just now with JAWS 11 and IE 8. You are correct that keyboard help does not tell you anything about the key stroke.

Firstly, if I turn on keyboard help, neither f6 nor alt-d claim to do anything. Secondly, when in internet explorer if I go to a page, then hit alt-d or f6, it says, ""address edit". I do not see a URL at that point. If I then hit control-c it says "nothing is selected". If I go to notepad and hit control-v, nothing is copied. Also, if I look in the keyboard manager under either default or internet explorer, neither alt-d nor f6 are defined as key strokes.
