This issue should probably be moved to atom/settings-view as it's the relevant package.

I found an old but simular issue regarding keybindings instead of install packages atom/settings-view issue 1083

EDIT:

Looks like focus is already being called, so not sure why it doesn't work. I tried adding a setTimeout and it works, so I suspect a race condition.
