Shift-return for new tab...

This was submitted by Anonymous as a new hint, but it really belongs here as a comment, so here it is:
One of my most common usages of Safari is to open a new tab and then type in an address. I do this a lot to open up a few sites and shift over to whatever one I started first. The drawback to this is that you shift focus to the new blank tab whenever you open a new one and type in address. This morning I found a new way:
  • Hit Command L to type in an address.
  • Type in the new address.
  • Instead of hitting Return to go to the new address, hit Command Return to open up a new tab in the background to the new address.
This probably only works if you (a) have tabbed browsing enabled, and (b) have "open new tabs in background" or some-such enabled.
