When you have want to activate an element on a page, like a modal you want to pop up, or set focus in a search field, you can add a shortcut via code in your contrib module, which places the cursor inside the field, or opens the element.
This page offers a list of contrib modules with shortcuts, and can serve as both a central place to check if a shortcut combination is already in use by another module, but also serve as inspiration for the code (see "How to add a shortcut" below).
