Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-05-02 15:38:43 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I usually play around with the various maps there are. When I want to navigate to a certain city, I need to click on the “Navigation” tab, click the input box and enter my search term.
It should be possible to just press Ctrl-F (or any other keystroke you configured) to automatically switch to the search box and focus it, so you can instantly navigate without having to think of the tab you are on at the moment.

Reproducible: Always

Should this be marked as a bug of bug 276324? Or the other way around? 

Rather than "Find", I personally feel "Goto" is better for such things -- see Stellarium's handling of celestial locations -- terrestrial locations should be handled similarly IMHO.
