In normal browser mode, you'd just copy the URL out of the address bar. But when your web app is running in "application shortcut" mode, there is no address bar. So how do you find out the URL for your current Gmail message, for instance?

(Ok, this is obviously a Chrome question, not a web app question, but give me points for the effort I put into disguising it...)

Ok, I found the right answer: Click the system menu (top left hand corner). Select "Copy URL".

Too bad there isn't a keyboard shortcut for this. ): – Rebecca Chernoff Jan 5 '12 at 20:55

I guess the shortcut is Alt + Space. Unfortunately, the "Copy URL" option had been removed (I'm on "Version 22.0.1229.94 m"). – Martin R-L Nov 5 '12 at 19:39

Don't have access to Chrome right now, but how about Right-click on the page and select "Properties"?

Ok, there's no "Properties", but I did just discover you can get it through Inspect Element. Navigate to the HTML element, and there's a rule matched for html, body. Right click on the source of that rule, and do "copy link address"...you get there in the end. Thanks. – Steve Bennett Nov 20 '10 at 5:18
