There was a problem hiding this comment.
On macOS the code sets aria-keyshortcuts to Command+K, but ARIA only recognizes modifier tokens like Meta, Control, Shift, etc. Because Command is not a valid modifier token, assistive technologies may not announce this shortcut correctly even though the visual hint shows it. Set the ARIA value to Meta+K while keeping ⌘K as the visual label.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The global handler only triggers when e.key === 'k', so the shortcut is missed when the browser reports uppercase K (for example with Caps Lock or Shift-modified input states). This makes the advertised Cmd/Ctrl+K shortcut unreliable in real usage; normalizing with e.key.toLowerCase() (or using e.code === 'KeyK') avoids that failure mode.

🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
For aria-keyshortcuts values, is "Command+K" valid, or should macOS shortcuts use "Meta+K" according to WAI-ARIA / UI Events key values?
💡 Result:
"Meta+K" is the correct value for macOS Command+K shortcuts in aria-keyshortcuts, according to WAI-ARIA and UI Events key values. "Command+K" is not valid.[1][2][3][4] The aria-keyshortcuts attribute requires modifier keys to match exactly the UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values spec: "Alt", "Control", "Shift", "Meta", or "AltGraph". "Meta" specifically maps to the Command key (⌘) on macOS.[1][3][4] Official MDN ARIA docs confirm: modifier keys are "Meta (Command key on Mac)", with example aria-keyshortcuts="Meta+C".[1][2] W3C UI Events spec states: "Meta" key value is used for the Apple Command or ⌘ key.[4] DigitalA11Y references the spec: "Meta corresponds to the Command key... on Apple computers."[3] No authoritative source accepts "Command" as a modifier; examples use "Meta" or "Control+K" (cross-platform).[5]

Change "Command+K" to "Meta+K" in aria-keyshortcuts for macOS.
Line 113 uses 'Command+K' which is non-standard for aria-keyshortcuts. The WAI-ARIA spec requires modifier keys to match the UI Events KeyboardEvent key values, where "Meta" maps to the Command key (⌘) on macOS. This should be 'Meta+K' to be announced correctly by assistive technology.

💡 What
Added a global keyboard shortcut (
Cmd+Kon Mac,Ctrl+Kon Windows/Linux) to quickly focus the main search input on the dashboard. A visual<kbd>hint was added inside the search input to discover this functionality, which gracefully hides when a search query is active to make room for the "Clear" button.🎯 Why
The global search is a primary interaction point on the dashboard. Providing a standard keyboard shortcut (a highly expected pattern in modern web apps) significantly speeds up user workflows, especially for power users, preventing them from having to move their hands off the keyboard to reach for the mouse.
📸 Before/After
(Visuals are captured in the associated Playwright recording)
Before: The user must manually click the search bar to focus it.
After: The search bar displays a "⌘K" or "Ctrl+K" hint. Pressing the shortcut instantly focuses the input.
