After recently upgrading to Django 4, we've had users report issues
related to the changes made in #34040. The users perform quite a lot of
these searches, and an extra click to focus the search box annoys them. I
wonder if it would be possible to restore the autofocus functionality when
in popup? In the popup context, I think it makes sense to autofocus the
search box.

After recently upgrading to Django 4, we've had users report issues
related to the changes made in #34040. The users perform quite a lot of
these searches, and an extra click to focus the search box annoys them. I
wonder if it would be possible to restore the autofocus functionality when
in popup? In the popup context, I think it makes sense to autofocus the

search box since usability greatly improves.

Comment:

Hello Mattias, thank you for your report.

We should confirm with the accessibility team if this is an acceptable
proposal from the accessibility point of view. I do acknowledge that your
PR proposes to restore the `autofocus` only when there is a popup, but
it's unclear whether that will also be confusing screen readers.

My advice would be to reach out to them in
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/accessibility/26 the
dedicated Accessibility category in the forum] and seek approval for the
proposal. Until then, I'll close the ticket as `invalid`, but if they do
approve this idea, please point us to the discussion and we'll re-open.
