Is there a shortcut to focus on the Search field on docs.python.org?

I was going to, yeah, but wanted to get @AA-Turner 's input from an upstream Sphinx perspective before pursuing the otherwise-preferred third alternative (presumably using vanilla JS rather than jQuery).

The pragmatic thing seems to be select visible fields. Perhaps we should move this to issues on Sphinx and p-d-t for further discussion?

Doesn’t work in Firefox 106.0.1 on Win10.

I have no idea why I never thought of the “Add a keyword for this search” option, since I have already done this for several other sites (“wiki”, “wikt”, for example). Thanks so much for the reminder: just added “py” and it works just fine.

I have to use mouse to change keyboard focus

Or you can use the tab key (albeit several times) to reach the field.

Here’s the tracking issue for the / on narrow width in Furo, which is the first step in getting this fixed in the devguide.

I wish I could toggle docs.python.org into a mode where I would get this neat full-width search bar regardless of the actual window size.
