Description

@DikshantJangra

Problem / Motivation

Issue Impact
No quick keyboard shortcut for search or command palette - Slower user navigation
- Reduced productivity
- Less intuitive access to search

Proposed Solution

  • Add a global keyboard shortcut: Cmd+K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux)
  • Shortcut triggers opening or focusing the search input or command palette
  • Ensure the shortcut overrides default browser behavior when necessary

Alternatives considered

Alternative Reason not preferred
Clicking search icon manually Slower and less convenient
Other keyboard shortcuts Less standardized or discoverable

Acceptance Criteria

Criteria Description
Shortcut functionality Cmd+K / Ctrl+K opens or focuses the search UI
Cross-browser and platform consistency Works reliably on major browsers and OS
Prevent default browser shortcut behavior Default Cmd+K action (e.g., focus browser bar) is suppressed when used in the app
