Description

Describe the feature
The search dialog supports keyboard navigation, but the available shortcuts are not visible to users.

Currently users can navigate with:

  • ↑ / ↓ to move between results
  • Enter to select
  • Esc to close

However, these shortcuts are not displayed anywhere in the search dialog UI.

Research direction

No implementation file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the search dialog and its existing keyboard-navigation handling, then add visible hints for ↑/↓, Enter, and Esc; done means users can see all three shortcuts in the dialog and the existing navigation still works.
