Ha lol, works here too, but not really.  Example:

On open dialog
1. type this in filename box: "hhh"
2. now switch to file chooser window with left click.
3. Now type Ctrl-L

Result: "hhh" is erased, cursor is in filename box.  The result that
the filename is erased led me to think that Ctrl-L is for erasing file
names, because Ctrl-L in Epihany never erases a long URL.
