Hi @evansalter 👋

Thanks for creating gata. It looks neat.

The keyboard workflow works well, but I think can be improved further to make it even faster to reach a bookmark.

gata ergonomics

I used a bookmark for github with a username, and pre-selected a number of users. I know which user I want to reach to, and want to do it with as few clicks as possible.

Currently, I do cmd-. > gi > tab > e and it shows me the right username. So far it's great.

At this point however, I want to either tab to go straight to the URL, or perhaps Enter (or both). But instead I still need to do tab > enter, which is not optimal.

A couple of more small things:

  1. Somehow I noticed that cmd-. opens it consistently, but the focus isn't set consistently on the search input box... I'm not sure when it's not working, a bit hard to reproduce, but whilst playing around with it now I noticed it.

  2. After I click Go, the addon pane doesn't close automatically, which I think it should.

Hope my feedback is helpful :)

I tested it on Firefox 77.0.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6
