Use case or problem
I want to search a folder by entering a specific text string to search. Currently we can already right-click > Search in folder which prepends path:”to/folder/” to the search, but it also happens to pre-select/highlight that whole path text.
User generally wants to type immediately the text to search after clicking a search command, but here it would just accidentally replace the path, losing the point of search in folder. It happened to me many times.
Proposed solution
Do not select the path text, just put the caret one space after the path, so user can start typing text.
Personally, I also almost always use full sentence search with “double quotes” because searching for wild, non-sequential words within a whole folder generally gives too many non-relevant results, so I would even add an option to pre-surround text to search with "…”, but that’s another story.
Current workaround (optional)
Remember to press right arrow before typing text to search every time
