What
Several text-input fields in prompts, like the directory path input and plugin/skill search boxes, now request keyboard focus as soon as they're shown, so you can start typing right away without clicking or tabbing into them first.
A new keybinding context called PaneField was also added, covering input fields or selects with keyboard focus inside a plugin's pane, alongside the existing Pane context.
Why
This makes these prompts more responsive to use, since the cursor is ready in the right field the moment it appears, and gives plugin authors a way to bind keys specifically for a focused field inside their pane.
