Cross-references activate "search from start" when placing a cross-reference


Recommended Posts

When I insert a cross-reference, right now, I have to first activate the text field to type the piece of text I want to reference.
For me it would be much more efficient if the cursor were already in the search field so I can start typing as soon as I use the tool.

This is probably a Windows-specific issue because the search field is active on macOS when the dialog opens.
