On Mac, when I toggle the Search Drafts field to show by clicking the button, the search field doesn’t automatically get keyboard focus. Using the Cmd-L keyboard shortcut does focus the search field.
The search field does automatically get keyboard focus when tapping the toggle on iOS/iPad.
Would it be possible to make it so clicking the button to toggle it also gives focus to the search field when it’s shown? I hope that makes sense.
Not a solution to your exact question but do you know quick search? This is not helping to search through the current draft list but will search through all drafts and is very easy to use (with a keyboard shortcut)
I use it for 90% of my searches Quick Search | Drafts User Guide
Thanks for the tip! There is also a keyboard shortcut for searching the Draft List as well (Cmd + L), which does focus the search field. I’ve just found myself clicking the toggle button often because of normal habits.
I’ll make that change. Good catch, they should definitely work the same on both platforms.
