Hello @kovidgoyal

Hoping you could look at Focus of elements in the Editor.

1. I often highlight a bit of text and press ctrl-f, then press ctrl-n to find the number of instances. When it is just a single instance I try to tab back to the edit screen, but it takes 35 tabs to get there. If I use shft-tab, it takes 17 tabs to get there. And during the tabbing, I lose sight at what is in focus. It looks like nothing is focused. Can it be modified for a single tab back to the editor screen?

2a. The Insert Special Character dialogue box which I tend to leave open and off to the side. While typing I will move the mouse and select a character to insert, the character is inserted, the cursor in the editor is focused and I am able to then continue typing. I am able to type the first letter in the editor, then for some reason the cursor jumps back to the Insert Character box and I end up typing the next few letters in the Search by Name field. Can you change that behaviour to keep the focus back in the editor. This does not happen every time, and I haven't been able to find what triggers it, but it does happen more than half the time.

2b. If I alt-tab away from the Editor to, say, my web browser, then alt-tab back, it is the Insert Character box that has focus, not where I left the cursor in the editor screen.

Thanks.
