Research direction
Start by tracing the search function and search panel, then compare how the Tracks and Favorites panels handle focus and closing. Verify the intended keyboard entry points for opening, focusing, and closing each panel. Done means search opens from a global shortcut with its field focused, Esc closes it, and equivalent shortcuts work for the other named panels.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Since map objects are not directly clickable, they must first be found using the search function, e.g. to make them a favorite. For this reason, the search must be used very frequently and is currently associated with a large number of clicks.
The following would improve this:
- Introduce a global keyboard shortcut for search (e.g. F3). It would also be nice if all panels (Tracks, Favorites etc.) had a shortcut.
- The focus should then be placed directly in the search field. Currently, this still has to be clicked before the search text can be entered.
- It should be possible to close the search panel using the keyboard (e.g. Esc key). This requirement also applies to the other panels (Tracks, Favorites etc.).
Thanks for considering this feature request.
