NetBox version

v3.0.10

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When opening netbox, I always have to click in the searchbox, before I can type.

It would be easier if the searchbox already has focus by default.
Only when there is a form to be completed, then the first field of the form needs to have the focus

Use case

Less clicking

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

Makes sense, I'm a big fan of having netbox as a search provider in my browser.

When url bar has focus:
netbox router

Opens search result for 'router'

I don't think there is anything in here that enables netbox as a search provider in the browser

Just to clear my request. I don't want a search provider.. I just want to have the search field gets the focus when I open Netbox....

And you can easily add a search provider in modern browsers manually..
net -> https://netbox?q=%s

@PieterL75 commented on GitHub (Mar 16, 2022):

All attempts to use 'autofocus' failed.
Seems that #7001 (by @thatmattlove) introduced a JS that set the focus to the content-container. If remove that focus, then the autofocus on the input field works perfect....
Now I have to think of a way to only focus on the content-container if no other fields have focus...

Setting the focus on the searchbar will interfere with that user wanting to scroll with the keys after a search..
Any good ideas ? eventhandlers that catch the up/down key and scroll, even when in the searchbar focus ?

This FR got a little hijacked.
The initial ask, was to put the focus on the searchbar of netbox after a search.
nothing to do with search providers or anything else.

I have a version running for myself, and in the end it is not that practical. It sometimes jumps to that focus, while a form wants the focus.

I'm going to cancel this FR
