NetBox version

v4.4.0

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Pressing the slash / key from any webpage should move the cursor to the global search box, unless another input element already has focus. This is a common convention across many web services including Gmail and GitHub.

This is a duplicate of #17824 which was auto-closed because I didn't have time to work on it, but now I do.

Also very similar to #12749 which was accepted but also got auto-closed.

Use case

Nine times out of 10, the first thing I do when opening Netbox is click on global search. I've arrived the page using the keyboard (typing the URL), so it's un-ergonomic to move to the mouse for one click and then move back to the keyboard to type.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

I plan to implement this as a TypeScript module.
