Description Ilya Potapov 2012-05-19 14:23:04 UTC
I think it will be more convinient, if input focus would be at search field just after start.
When i want to install something i start muon package manager and often just type name in search field. I like alt+f2 launch - it is much more quicker. So, how it is looks like for now:

1) Alt+f2, type muo, press enter;
2) Then take hands away from keyboard, take a mouse, move it on small search field an click....
3) Move hands back on keyboard and type keyword for package.

Step (2) is very annoying. If focus would be on search field just after start, we have no need to step (2).

I think it is not very difficult to set focus on start, while it will be great usability enchancement. Thank you.

Muon package manager is great and i like it very much - it is simple to use while providing advanced features i need like in aptitude. Thank you for working on it.

Reproducible: Always
