Description
**Describe the bug**
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request... when hitting CMD+F / CTRL+F the Find tool opens at the top of the Input/Output but the keyboard input isn't automatically directed to the Find input box. Focus is also lost from the Input/Output box so typing has no effect.
**To Reproduce**
1. Enter some text into the Input box
2. Hit CMD+F / CTRL+F to display the Find tool
3. Type something
4. Notice that your input doesn't appear anywhere
**Expected behaviour**
I expected the Find input box to be focused when the Find tool appears, so users can hit CTRL+F / CMD+F then immediately start typing their query
**Desktop (if relevant, please complete the following information):**
- Browser: Chrome 126 / Firefox 128
- CyberChef version: 10.19.0
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in CyberChef with the Find tool: enter text, use CMD+F or CTRL+F, and type a query. Trace the frontend code that opens the Find tool and verify that the Find input receives focus and accepts typing immediately after the shortcut.
