Immediately move cursor to Search Field when selecting category on Mobile

I think we can simplify adding a category to a topic by automatically moving the cursor into the search field when choosing a category.

This may not be safe on mobile (per depiction in your screenshot), as this will pop the mobile keyboard. That’s usually much more disruptive.

On desktop/laptop moving focus is safe because there’s no on-screen keyboard to pop.

I thought about this too and noticed that when in portrait mode, the keyboard wouldn’t cover up anything essential.

Because of your comment, though, I looked into landscape model and unfortunately searching for a category when in landscape mode is nearly impossible.

So I see your point!
