Feature Request (Auto Focus Search Bar Toggle)

Open PixFPS opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

PROBLEM:

       When Launching YouTube I have to click the search bar before I can start searching for what made me open the site to begin with.

SOLUTION:

       An option to automatically focus the search bar when on the "Home" page.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

      Maybe 5% of users would daily drive this setting, don't think it makes for a good default.
      Might be appreciated by those that want to be less distracted as it's a reminder to go through with the search rather than get distracted by the thumbnails on the home page.

"SIDE EFFECTS":

       Previous search results block some of the thumbnails and titles. I doubt that having the option to enable it in the menu would bother people as they likely scroll by and think "I can see who this is for".
