Description
When testing the search subsystem, I thought it would be nice to be able to use a keyboard shortcut - something like CMD + F - in order to focus the quick search box. I checked the tasks for which shortcuts are configurable in Preferences -> Toolbar and didn't see such an option there.
This would make searching more streamlined, especially for users who are going to paste in a copied query.

TAB does allow switching between IGB components, but only after selecting one of the components first.

| Fix Version/s | 9.1.0 Major Release [ 10601 ] |
Likely will not make it into the 9.1.0 release, so am removing Fix Version tag 9.1.0.
Moving to next sprint to give time for 9.1.0 release.

| Summary | Add quick search focus shortcut | Investigate: Add quick search focus shortcut |
Changing title to reflect need to first investigate how this can be done. It may require very little effort, or it could require major re-factoring. First step is to investigate the options for implementation.

From my investigation, the class that is responsible for searching is SearchUtils.java
The classes responsible for the actions listed in the Toolbar section in Preferences can be found in the IGB project at:
igb --> src --> main --> java --> com --> affymetrix --> igb --> action
All these classes use a parent class called GenericAction, which has a setKeyStrokeBinding method that takes a string of the keystroke to use.
For example: ExitAction class, which is responsible for exiting IGB when required, has a setKeyStrokeBinding method of "setKeyStrokeBinding("ctrl Q");" , which is the same one listed in the Toolbar section of Preferences.
Preferences can be opened on Windows by clicking "alt + p", which is confirmed by the PreferencesAction.java class, which includes "setKeyStrokeBinding("alt P")".

Question:
What happens if a user selects the IGB window (to make it the current application) and then types TAB. Does this change the focus to different components within IGB?
