           Summary: KCharSelect: focus to text field upon startup
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: federico.zenith at member.fsf.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Many times I have to use KCharSelect to fish some obscure Unicode character.
Usually when I start KCharSelect I know something of the character, like that
its description contains the word "arrow".

Currently, after starting KCharSelect, I have to press Shift+Tab several times
(five) to activate the text field.

Since it is really the most common way to look for a character, I would suggest
activating the text field immediately upon start up.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alt+F2, "kcharselect"
2. Shift+Tab
3. Shift+Tab
4. Shift+Tab
5. Shift+Tab
6. Shift+Tab
7. Write your character description

Actual Results:  
I waste 2 seconds of my life every time.

Expected Results:  
1. Start KCharSelect
2. Write your character description right away.
