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
