Description

Please make a clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select an existing note
  2. Click on the 3-dot menu, select Rename
  3. We now have an edit field to rename the note
Expected behaviour

The field should have focus, with text cursor already ready to type

Actual behaviour

The field is available, but you need to click in it before typing.
I don't know where the keyboard focus is, arrows do not scroll the menu

Research direction

Reproduce the rename flow in the browser by selecting a note and choosing Rename from the three-dot menu. Trace the rename UI entry point and check how keyboard focus is assigned when the edit field appears. Done means the field is focused with the text cursor ready for typing without an extra click.
