[Feature] Automatically switch to the modification list after inserting text into the filter

[Artemonim]

Problem

Modifications can be selected with the mouse, or by using the arrow keys and the space bar. However, when interacting with filters, it is impossible (as far as I know) to select list items using the keyboard — the active window is the filter window.

Suggestion

When a user inserts text into one of the list filters, he or she is likely to see the modification he or she needs. I suggest, when inserting text in any of the filters, switch the user to the list of modifications (make it active for the keyboard) — you can immediately mark the desired modification with a space, or, if you are unlucky, get to it with the arrow keys (or using the mouse).

Why?

I believe this will increase the comfort of using CKAN for people who are used to using hotkeys to the maximum.

So you mean after pressing enter, right?

There is definitely some keyboard accessibility missing here. I can tab off of the name field to the mod list, but I have to press tab 12 times to get there. However as @DasSkelett noted, "when inserting text in any of the filters, switch the user to the list of modifications" won't work either, because it will interrupt someone typing a longer string.

In ConsoleUI pressing tab works because there are fewer controls on the screen, and there's an extra down arrow key binding for this.

I like the idea of pressing enter or down arrow, and maybe we can clean up the tab order so it goes filters ⇒ mod list ⇒ mod info.

Since 2 of the tab keypresses are to move through the author and description filters, maybe this should be combined with #2736, since having one search box would bring the tabs required from 3 down to 1.

I was also considering combining this with #2736, so that's a definitive yes from my side. And cleaning up the tab order sounds like a good idea too.

Usually, I paste the text from the forum or modification site through the clipboard into the filter. Usually, only one or several similar positions remain in the list. Usually, I need to press the space bar to enable/disable the modification. Just because I just pasted text with Ctrl+V and my thumb is next to the space bar button.

I do not have user statistics of CKAN usage and I judge only by myself. Also, I completely forgot the word "paste" when describing this feature and wrote "inserting". Shame on me.

Just decided to check — it turns out that from the filters to the list of modifications you can go with Ctrl+Tab in one action :D
