Well first of all, I seldom search for an address. 99% of the time I'm either looking for a general category (places to eat or sleep, that sort of thing) or directions from one town to another (specifics can be worked out later on a mobile device once I get there). So, if I'm looking for, say, a place to eat, I just go to Google Maps (I just tested it, I only need to hit "m" to make it auto-complete in Chromium) and then type "restaurants" or whatever and hit enter. Or, if I'm looking for a place to eat in another town, I type the town name, hit enter, then type "restaurants" and hit enter again. An alternative, since I have DDG configured in Chromium, is to type "!m <place> restaurants", which gets me the same result, no clicking. But frankly, I don't even usually take advantage of the shortcut because it just doesn't seem that much better for the frequency with which I search Google Maps (probably twice a day, on average).
