Keyboard focus is not completely switched to Files after running `Reveal current file`

Steps to reproduce

  1. open a note
  2. run Reveal current file in navigation
  3. type any text like “input”
  4. press enter

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

:white_check_mark: Yes

Expected result

Keyboard focus should either completely remain in the current note after running Reveal current file OR keyboard focus should be completely switched to the files. For example if I run Show file explorer and then start typing any letters, nothing happens as expected.

I would favor keyboard focus being switched to files after running Reveal current file. This behaviour would be aligned with Show file explorer.

Actual result

Typed text “input” appears in the current note but after pressing enter the current file is renamed in Files. See screenshot below.

Without fourth step (pressing enter) you can press ↑ and the cursor still remains active in the note. However if you press ↓ then keyboard focus is completely switched to Files.
