Please auto-select search field in "Select a ..." dialog
Posted: Fri May 16, 2025 1:24 am
Hello, devs, I hope you're doing well.
What:
"Select a..." dialog (eg select a filter) has clickable icons, tabs at the top, and the search field. In Py+CyberSyn I am hitting ctrl+f at least three times per station and have over 300 stations to date. The number of times I have somehow missed ctrl+f and typed quickly, opening a half dozen other windows.... is too many.
Why:
It would cut down on repetitive action and help run large bases better. To automatically select the search field would not interfere with mouse behavior and would help my QoL.
Alternative:
The closest thing I can think of is the "add station" dialog. Here, again, the only action available is to click a name in a very very long list or ctrl+f, then type the name. To auto-select the search field would be a tiny QoL improvement that would warm my heart.
Thank you for reading, and stay awesome!
