What happened?

When pressing the keyboard shortcut for "find in page" - Actual will instead focus the search bar. This is a frustrating UX anti-pattern and access issue, because the search actually behaves as a filter, where as find in page will simply jump me to a keyword.

A common suggested pattern seen elsewhere on the web is to use CMD + K (or other command that does not override a native control) and focus an on-page search bar with this instead.

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. On the /accounts screen
  2. Try to find something on the page using the browser-native keyboard command (e.g. CMD + F in Firefox on macOS).
  3. Observe the intended action is not able to be met, degrading the experience and slowing things down.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Mac OSX

Converted to a feature request as doing this change is controversial and I would like to gauge the community interest before anyone changes this logic.
