There's also a missing tab recognition in between the back arrow and the search bar (it's a bit hard to see in the video, but I hit tab between numbers 23 and 1, but it does nothing. Is this expected?

Additionally, when I navigate to a ContentPage and press Ctrl + K, the context menu doesn't appear until I set the focus to the search bar. I bet that addressing one of these scenarios will solve most of the issues :)
