Originally created by @ITJamie on GitHub (May 29, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.2

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

when netbox loads it would be great if the netbox search box had autofocus enabled on the dashboard page.

that way when a user loads the netbox default page url, they can instantly start searching for objects without having to tab to or click into the search box.

Use case

user accessability / ease of use adjustment

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

I once submitted the same FR https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/7839 and took a shot at the implementation.
But having the focus there, is not very practical when being on an edit form, then de focus should be on the main field..
that logic was very hard to handle (for me at least)

I think it should only have the autofocus flag if it is on the dashboard page

Instead of auto-focusing, we can add a way that when you hit / on your keyboard, the search comes into focus. This will avoid making too much logic of when it should or should not be in focus. You can test this feature via GitHub as well to get a taste of this. :)
