[Feature Request] Shortkey to Search tabs

[jacobboman]

It would be golden if there was a keyboard short key to switch focus to the 'Search tabs' input field and it hitting enter would open the top result. Bonus would be if all tabs were shown again after choosing a tab from search.

Is there any way I could help with this/do this myself?

Thanks!

I came here to suggest this (what a coincidence it was opened yesterday), but I think you should also be able to change which tab enter will open with up and down on the keyboard.

I also agree completely that after you choose the tab all the tabs should be shown again, and the search cleared. Also, focus should probably be passed to the page at that point.

I took a stab at adding this because I'm impatient (sorry, I know you said you would be interested in doing it). Unfortunately, as specified, it doesn't seem to be possible quite yet (limitations around manpulating focus from extensions).

What is possible is giving the input element autofocus, which works a bit as a crutch. I did this, as well as supporting enter key + the navigation through selected items with arrow keys in an incoming PR.

This should be an option. Not a built-in behavior.
