Default cursor in the search bar on page open.

Hello Community,

I have a technical question. I have a request from my sales team.

Is it possible to add code to list pages that would make the cursor default to the search bar.  

example:

Sales person opens up the customers list,  when the page opens he would just start typing the customer name or number without having to click on the search bar at the top of the page. 

Thank you 

Ryan

    This doesnt directly answer your question but another option is to click F3. This is a keyboard shortcut to place the cursor on the search bar. In your scenario its just an extra keyboard key if the user is going to start typing a customer name or number.

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you.  I will pass that along to the sales guys as a interim fix.
