Hi thunderbird team,

I am using thunderbird as my standard mail programm an really like it. I have lots if mail accounts and combine them in one inbox. When i try to find a mail I use the filter / fastsearch (in german "Schnellfilter") to quickly find that messages.

When every I open the field, my pointer is still stick to the button but not the input field. So I begin typing and thunderbird is registering shortcurts. Why not directly stetting the filter-input field active to the cursor so directly typing is possible? I'd really appreciate that feature and it would help me alot in alldays work.

kind regards, quixony

Why not just starting one thread for your question instead of two? Please continue at your original thread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1061159

I am sorry. Did not see the first question submitted. Had some issues with NoScript and Cookie-Blocking on mozilla.org.

I'll mark this question as solved. If possible delete this topic.

I have marked this one as unsolved, as that may encourage further comment. I closed the other question as it had no responses.

This is probably a request for enhancement, and possibly some Thunderbrid expert will need to comment as to whether this is likely to be changed or if a bug has been filed for such a change.
