I feel there is a Focus Search Bar mixxxcontrol, to focus searchbar without touchpad or mouse. Just click a button on a MIDI controller or keyboard and start search query

I have found that Ctrl+F focus on a search bar. Maybe should add ability to map that on a MIDI controller?

A midi control would be nice to start typing right away, but I think the keyboard shortcut is sufficient as you want to use the keyboard anyway.

becomes more relevant since the search is now a combobox storing previous queries which can be operated with controllers.
