Focus search results list #53696

Description

@OliverJAsh

When I am paging through the search results list, and after I have moved focus to the editor, I would like to be able to move focus back to the search result list, so I can continue to page through the results using my arrow keys.

Using "focus into side bar" will focus the input. Perhaps it should instead return focus to the last element within the side bar to have focus.

I am aware of the "focus next/previous search result" commands, however this doesn't focus the list per se, it just selects the search result to show it in the editor. This is not a replacement for paging the list using the arrow keys, e.g. without focusing the list, it's not possible to replace all in file.

Perhaps a separate command could be provided to give focus to the currently selected search result in the list, e.g.

  • "Search: Focus currently selected result in list"
  • "Search: Focus list" (and implicitly return focus to the currently selected result)
