Description

I suggest adding autofocus to wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 338 (in latest version-5.9.1 - within the input tag, with id 'search-plugins'). This is an attribute that all browsers - that I know - support. This will allow the user to (from Dashboard or any admin page) to click the add new plugin link and then type their search term without clicking the input box.
Autofocus may also be useful in other forms...

Hi and welcome to Trac!

The autofocus behavior was removed from the Plugin Installation screen in r29218 (see #39528).

This page has at least two workflows other than searching to consider:

  • uploading a plugin and
  • browsing plugin options under the available tab-style links

And with the search autofocus, switching from the Featured collection page to my Recommended set would re-focus on the search box after I identify my intention to browse the recommended plugins.
