Research direction

Start by locating the filter view used when choosing data for graphs, then trace the transition from selecting a filter field to displaying its value field. Verify the existing keyboard flow and define done as the value field receiving focus automatically after the filter field is selected.

Description

enhancement
Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Nope, it's not. It's an accessibility enhancement. When adding filters to the data we choose for graphs - we can operate easily by keyboard. But after selecting the field we would like the filter to work on - we are not focusing the field with value.

Describe the solution you'd like

Auto-focus the value field after selecting the filter field, so it will be a seamless keyboard experience for users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

I could prepare a PR for that if maintainers will accept that as a valid feature/imrovement to Posthog.
