When muon-discover or muon are started and show their window, the 'search' field does not have the keyboard focus, despite the fact that no other input fields beside 'search'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start muon or muon-discover 2. start typing 3. Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: keyboard input should be added to the 'search' field without a first click into 'search' field.
You can move the focus there using Ctrl+F. I'm unsure we want to have the focus there by default. Keyboard focus needs reconsideration on the whole software anyway though, so I'm not closing for the moment.
Just my 2 cents: it always annoys the hell out of me if something's primary initial use case is searching but doesn't focus the search field (think plasma's add widget dialog). To that extent I believe the Muons should in fact focus the search field. It is the only input and focusing it by default does not actually break any of the alternative use cases (such as discovery by browsing). So to me it sounds a lot like 100% gain & 0% risk ;)
