Description
When I hit the shortcut for Search (default: Ctrl-F) the main text window loses its focus only when the Search window is finally created. On medium-slow computers it happens to me that I want to search my text-to-search is actually pasted in where the cursor is and not in the search- texfield, because I am too fast/ computer too slow.
I see two ways of dealing with this: 1) buffer the text i type after hitting the search shortcut
2) having a search bar like in firefox. Also a "Live- Search" would be nice, that starts once I type
