Window Focus Lost After Saving Page - Any Way To Get It Back With Keyboard?

Question

I've recently begun using Safari for Windows after having used Opera for years, and have run into a problem with window focus that I didn't have with Opera. Specifically, if you save a web page in Safari, you then find that the following functions are no longer available from the keyboard:
1. Going back to a web page previous to the one that you just saved. Ctrl+[ does not function.
2. Performing a search. Ctrl+F does not function.
3. Scrolling to the bottom or top of the page. Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home do not function. (For some reason, however, the PageUp and PageDown keys do still work in this situation.)
Why is this, and more importantly, is there a quick and easy way that you can, using only the keyboard, regain the window focus so that these functions will work again? I'm currently having to click somewhere on the page I've just saved in order to regain the focus. This is a nuisance.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks very much. Hitting 'Alt' button after saving the page does resolve the first (and most important) two of the three issues I listed above. FWIW, the Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home functions only work in this post-save scenario (as I discovered by experimenting a few minutes ago) if you hit the 'Alt' button twice (or if you do something else, like perform a search and then use Ctrl+End/Home).
By the way, before posting a few days ago, I had tried using the Alt+Tab method when I had two or more applications' windows open, and it didn't help. But, after reading your last post, I've found that if you use Alt+Tab when Safari is the only window open, then it does resolve the issue, although of course, as you've indicated, it's not actually necessary to hit the 'Tab' key.
Thanks again!
