Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Feature Description

The recode hive website contains a large amount of documentation, blogs, and community content. Currently, users must manually move their cursor to the search bar whenever they want to search for content.

A common usability enhancement used by many documentation platforms is allowing users to press the / key to instantly focus the search input. This provides a faster and more accessible navigation experience, especially for power users and contributors who frequently browse documentation.

Problem Statement

At the moment:

• Users must manually click the search bar before typing a query.
• Navigation becomes slower when exploring multiple documentation pages.
• The site lacks a commonly expected keyboard shortcut available on many modern documentation websites.

Proposed Solution

Implement a global keyboard shortcut that:

• Focuses the documentation search input when the user presses /.
• Does not trigger when the user is already typing inside an input field, textarea, search box, or any editable element.
• Preserves existing search functionality without modifying search behavior.
• Works across documentation and blog pages.

Expected Behavior

• Pressing / anywhere on the website should focus the search bar.
• Users can immediately start typing their search query.
• The shortcut should not interfere with normal typing inside forms or text fields.

Benefits

• Improved user experience and navigation speed.
• Better accessibility for keyboard users.
• Aligns the website with documentation platforms that support keyboard-first navigation.
• Small enhancement with high usability impact.

Possible Files Involved

• Search-related components under src/components/
• Theme or layout components responsible for global keyboard interactions
• Documentation and blog page layouts if required

Additional Notes

Please ensure proper cleanup of event listeners and avoid triggering the shortcut when the user is focused on an editable element.
