Hide the search crate text field by default

[antoyo]

Hi!

Some web plugins/web browsers have a shortcut to focus the first text field in a page, which is what I use in Rust documentations to start a search within the crate.
However, on docs.rs, there's another "Find crate" text field which is before the documentation search field which forbids me to use this shortcut.

So, it would be nice to hide the "Find crate" text field by default, requiring to click a button or hover to show the text field.
Another solution that would make it after the other text field would also fix this issue.

If you need help to implement that, I can contribute.

Thanks.

I am not sure but I think adding tabindex="-1" should fix this issue. Can you tell me which browser or plugin acting like this, so I can test it?

[antoyo]

Vimperator is a plugin for Firefox which allows to select the first field with the sortcut gi.
There are other plugins/browsers, but in my case, I develop my own, so adding the tabindex="-1" will be enough for me.
However, it does not seem to work with Vimperator (I don't really care, but other people might care :) ).

2gi is working fine for vimperator and vimium. TBH I am not sure about changing a basic text input with javascript.

[antoyo]

What about just adding tabindex="-1"?
That does not require JavaScript.

Sure, I can do that when I am home.

Thanks!

This has been somehow removed.
Can we add this back?

It seems this was removed in #611, cc @GuillaumeGomez . I think it should be as easy as adding back tabindex="-1"?

[GuillaumeGomez]

Normally it should be just that, indeed. Want me to send the PR?

[jyn514]

That would be great :)

[GuillaumeGomez]

Opened #741. :)

[antoyo]

That was removed again.
