Side Panel Automatic Focus

[akalias]

You can click on the action icon and have it automatically focus in an input/textarea

Why can't we do the same for the side panel?

Is there any chance this can be "fixed" ?

Hi there,

Have you tried this in your "panel.html" page?
 document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
      setTimeout(function () {
        document.getElementById('myInput').focus();
      }, 500);
    });

Thanks,
Stefan vd

There is no way to implement this feature at the moment. Because when opening the side panel, the focus doesn't move to the side panel page.

I confirm this issue still exists, if it can't be focused automatically, can we at least have a way to programmatically focus it with the chrome.sidePanel API?

I see there is a ticket opened for this: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40896667
