Feature description

Add an option to open the keyboard immediately after accessing the app drawer

Why do you want this feature?

With a lot of apps, it's faster to type the name of the app instead of searching it by sight

Additional information

It's a toggle that can be added to the "App drawer" section of the settings. It can be worded like this "Open the keyboard immediately after accessing the app drawer".

Note: thanks for this launcher. Lots of other FOSS launcher pushed the idea of an empty main screen, and only by swiping is possible to open an app. Others add a small row to the bottom, that is very limited. The design that you choose (to let the user decide the position and disposition of the app, the classic one if I could say) it's perfect. Thanks to all the contributors for keeping it maintained.

I agree, but at the top there's a search bar - after one additional tap you get a keyboard to quickly filter the list. Is this one additional tap too much?

Imho, yes.
Just for reference, I know two different launcher that does it: Kvaesitso and Pie Launcher. For both is the default behavior (still editable in the settings).
