Upon app launch, "Word or phrase" input box should be selected. #11

Description of Issue

When you launch the app, the cursor is in the language selection box which is not where I'd want to type the word I am interested in. Maybe this is by design but I find it to be counter to what I'd expect.

As it is now:

As I think it should be

This is indeed by design—or at least, the focus was explicitly set to the language selection box in the code. I can't really remember, though, why I coded it that way. And I suppose it does make more sense to focus on the query entry instead.

I know this is an old post, but I'm a new user and the latest flatpak version still has the same issue.

johnfactotum commented 2 years ago

The fix was never released so the Flatpak version still has this issue. The app has since been ported to GTK 4 and released as 2.0.0 last year, which was not released for Flatpak because webkit2gtk-5.0 was not in the stable runtime yet. I think it's in the 42 runtime now so I guess we can update the Flatpak to 2.0.0 now.
