[FR]: Improve keyboard UX: Focus search input with Ctrl+F in Tasknotes views #1544
Description
Feature Description
Hi 👋
first of all, thanks for the great Tasknotes plugin – I’m using it a lot!
I’d like to suggest a small but very helpful UX improvement regarding keyboard navigation and search.
Feature Request
In Tasknotes views that include a search input (e.g. Calendar view, and other views with filters/search), pressing Ctrl+F should automatically:
1.Focus the view’s search input
2.Place the cursor inside the input
3.Allow typing immediately (without any extra click)
Currently, Ctrl+F triggers nothing
Why this is useful
- Much faster keyboard-based workflow
- Consistent behavior across Tasknotes views
- Matches common UX patterns for search in Obsidian and other apps
- Especially helpful for power users and heavy task management
Expected behavior
- When a Tasknotes view with a search/filter input is active:
Ctrl+F focuses the local search input
-When no local search exists:
Default Obsidian behavior remains unchanged
Optional enhancement
- Also support Cmd+F on macOS
- Maybe visually highlight the search box when focused via shortcut
Thanks for considering this feature!
