Google Chrome address bar focus

Question

I am making a simple Google Chrome extension and I was wondering, is there a way to understand in my content script when the focus is on the Chrome's address bar?

Generic JavaScript answer is no.

Chrome does not present any specific API to expand your capability; there is the omnibox API, but for security/privacy reasons you only start to get events from that after the user enters a keyword you specify in the manifest.

So, still no.
