Description

@VanCastar

This is a feature that work on some places but not everywhere and as such may result in accidental code deletions in addition to stopping good work flow.

1. Whenever I open up a window to add an extension, the search field is not active so I have to select the field before starting to type.

2. When I select another tab in the condition / Event selection it should focus on the text field without needing to click on it to start searching.

3. MOST IMPORTANT!
When I create a comment or group in the events, it should automatically focus to the created text field by default.
Instead the focus is remaining to be on the event below the inserted comment/group.

SO MANY times when I've added a comment and started typing just to notice nothing has been typed BUT the whole block of code was deleted since while typing I pressed backspace and deleted the whole thing.

Sometimes resulting to deletion or severely altering the block of events without noticing in an area that isn't apparent at first but noticing it to break the whole thing later on after many saves done already.

The example shows the result after I select and event and then add comment.
If I type straight from here the shortcuts start making havoc and pressing backspace/delete will delete the event.
