Comparison between ksysguard and plasma-systemmonitor

SUMMARY
KSysGuard has a feature where you can navigate between the topmost entry of the process list and the search box using the up and down arrow keys. The new System Monitor doesn't have this feature, you have to resort using multiple Tabs and Shift+Tabs for moving between these two places. I think it would worth bringing this KSysGuard feature into the new System Monitor to make keyboard navigation less cumbersome.

(Just as a side note, it also doesn't help the new System Monitor's case that the QML/Kirigami stuff doesn't properly set the color of inactive selections, so you don't know where the hell exactly you are when you're jumping around with the Tab key. But that's an entirely separate story.)
