Is it possible to add the following to future updates?

-When pressing ctrl+f have the cursor move to the search box instead of having to click it with the mouse?
-When the drop down list of items comes down after typing a search item, could you select one of the items on the drop down list with just the arrow key on on the keyboard + enter ?
-make a hotkey to close the window after you've found the info (maybe ctrl+F :)

Lot of back and forth with the mouse with this mod and I think the small suggestions I made above could help.

Thanks for your help

The first item is not possible until 0.16. The second might be possible... I think trying to give that extra functionality to those keys might cause problems. The third is possible. I'll add it to my TODO list.
