Feature request: hotkey to focus "search tabs" field #425

Add hotkey (along with opening sidebar hotkey) for the extension which will move focus to "search tabs" field after being pressed.

I tried to implement this in Tab Center Reborn but couldn’t make it work. I guess that the security model of WebExtensions prevent extensions views (sidebar, popup, etc.) to steal the focus from the browser or webpage, so that an extension cannot block the browser.

@ariasuni I'm not sure whether it would help but in simple-tab-groups there is a hotkey that calls a window with a search bar. Maybe it's not possible to switch focus to search bar of that side panel but by showing a new window or something.
