Focus search on unlocking database

[rugk]

(seen this behavior in the "original" KeePass)

Expected Behavior

Search should be focused.

Current Behavior

Something else is focused, I guess it's the first entry in the database.

Possible Solution

manually set focus

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Unlock database

Context

Use case: Quick search after unlocking database, usability.

[droidmonkey]

Pressing CTRL+F focuses search. There are probably 50% of people who want an entry focused and 50% who want search focused. There is no hotkey to focus on first entry (maybe there should be?), perhaps a setting would suffice.

[rugk]

Hmm, is a setting really needed? I mean I do not see the use case for having an entry selected at startup. I'll guess nobody will use the arrow keys for navigating to an entry after start.
I just saw this behaviour in KeePass and liked it quite much.

[droidmonkey]

Actually if you press down arrow in the search box it will select the first entry anyway, so we can easily change focus to search box on unlock without losing anything.

I would just like to point out that this is already the behavior! See here: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/blob/master/src/gui/SearchWidget.cpp#L123

Hmm, when I tested it in Fedora 28 it did not work, but maybe I'll need to test it again.

I confirm that the current behavior is:

• Focus on Searchbar after unlock
• Focus on the currently-selected entry when the down arrow is pressed in the searchbar

This is available since version 2.3.0
