Enhance Search Functionality: Auto-Focus and Multi-Source search when F11 is active #41779

Description

The search input should automatically gain focus when I press Ctrl + T or T which could be more effective. Additionally, this search input should be capable of searching not only the internet but also my browsing history and specially my bookmarks, as I prefer working in a distraction-free 'Zen Mode.' I also utilize Vimium, so I identify more as a 'Keyboard Guy' rather than someone who clicks around.

In sumary the search input should have the same functionality as the url bar

Ctrl+T does focus into search in the url bar and Tab from there will get you to the Search widget on NTP. We're more inclined to add a shortcut to the widget versus changing the behavior of Ctrl+T.

I mean, Ctrl + T when i am on full screen is not visible, like becuase i am actually with F11 , its more like adding the functionlity to autofocus to the 'Search input' at the bottom of the home page, could be great if that input search througout my bookmarks and history instead of just internet
