Global search hotkey shortcut #20308
Description
NetBox version
v4.4.0
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Pressing the slash / key from any webpage should move the cursor to the global search box, unless another input element already has focus. This is a common convention across many web services including Gmail and GitHub.
This is a duplicate of #17824 which was auto-closed because I didn't have time to work on it, but now I do.
Also very similar to #12749 which was accepted but also got auto-closed.
Use case
Nine times out of 10, the first thing I do when opening Netbox is click on global search. I've arrived the page using the keyboard (typing the URL), so it's un-ergonomic to move to the mouse for one click and then move back to the keyboard to type.
