auto focus on search

Post by juliusctw »

Hello

this is just a general request if it is not too much trouble, when you go to the search on this site, would it be difficult to have the focus automatically go to search bar?

after getting use to linux, i very rarely use the mouse, since i use search so much , it would be a nice feature :D , just a suggestion

I think this is a problem with your browser. It will decide which element gets the focus. But you can usually cycle through all links and widgets with the Tab key.

That feature pisses me off the most. I absolutely hate webpages that do that. I hope irrlicht doesn't focus there.

My web browser supports active searching. I use Mozilla. When I type, it automatically starts searching the page and jumps to matching text.

When pages focus on a field, it doesn't search the page. Instead, it starts typing inside that field. I have to tab out of it or click somewhere on the webpage to lose focus. Since webpages rarely focus on the field, I rarely search to see where the pointer is.
