Jump to search bar

When a user presses "F" to open the catalog, the typing-cursor should appear in the search bar. Pressing "F" to switch to the catalog generally does not help if I then have to use my mouse to click on the search bar. If text had been previously typed in the search bar it would be nice to jump to the search bar with that text selected. That way if I want to type something new it will just erase what was typed there. If I want to reuse the previously typed words, they are still there. Most of my time spent in incarnate is switching between the editor and the catalog, and I'm usually looking for some new asset. This would improve the efficiency and ease-of-use. Hope it's possible, thanks!

    Good idea. When the catalog is displayed, any search term should be selected by default for easy overwriting.

    Additionally pressing a key such as f should focus the search if it's not already focussed.
