Shortcut/Hotkey for focusing search in grids

Issue description:

Feature request: a keyboard shortcut for selecting search/filter mode in grids.

I'm calling it a request rather than a bug that R/U is swallowed on autoselect since I seem to recall in the past it didn't and was annoying for some people, and might have been changed intentionally.

What happens:

A grid with search in autofocus mode (both JEI & non-JEI) will also eat certain (NEI? JEI?) hotkeys such as R and U for showing recipes/uses for the item under cursor.

Using search without autoselect means clicking in search bar to focus it first.

What you expected to happen:

Some non-mouse way to focus (and maybe defocus?) search field in grid UIs.

Since if you're searching you're going to need the keyboard anyway, a shortcut key/combo would be convenient.

Either a fixed binding like Tab or something bindable through usual MC methods, complexity & usability permitting.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open grid (with search set to not autoselect)
  2. look longingly at search field
  3. mash random keys
  4. give up and click
  5. searching occurs...

Version (Make sure you are on the latest version before reporting):

  • Minecraft: 1.10.2
  • Forge: 12.18.3.2185
  • Refined Storage: 1.2.14 (SF3 pack via Curse)

Does this issue occur on a server? [yes/no]

Presumably. Tested singleplayer only.

Which shortcut are you proposing?

My initial suggestion would be TAB, but I can't remember if that shows online player list even inside GUIs for MP. I'm almost exclusively singleplayer atm so not sure. Basically anything that isn't [A-Za-z] and isn't going to clash with other contextual keys (JEI, NEI, etc) would be fine with me.

Also not sure on technical limitations of what key/combos can be used (iirc why virtually everything uses [sneak]+X), but Ctrl-S or something would also work.

Thinking about it more, ideally it would work like TAB to change focus in other software - so it cycles through the controllable options, in this case probably toggle normal -> search, search -> not-search (so you can search for a thing, and then deactivate so 'R' or 'U' give you usage/recipe)
