This is more of a minor quality of life request, but it'd be really convenient to have my cursor focus be defaulted into the search box when I launch dndbeyond. That will save me a click every single time I access the page and means I don't have to move my right hand from my keyboard to mouse back to keyboard. On webpages that have a better location (spell/race/monster/feat/etc searches), the name search box should be the automatically defaulted instead.
Many modern browsers allow you to setup custom search engines from your address bar. For example, I have it setup so that if I type ddb Strahd in my address bar, it will use the global search on D&D Beyond for entries of Strahd. If I type spell Prestidigitation, then it will search the spells page for Prestidigitation.
On Firefox, you can set this by right clicking any search field and selecting Add a Keyword for this Search....
On Chromium browsers, you can add custom search engines in your browser settings. Here are my go to custom searches for D&D Beyond:
Thanks Sillvva! That's definitely a great workaround. It'd still be nice to have the cursor default into search field when I access the specific webpage but this will do :)
