When beginning to type (and the window is focused, but not the input bar), the input bar should be focused

[ShadowJonathan]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

When i have the input bar not focused, and i begin to type, it begins to highlight random parts of the screen with orange bars.

Coming from discord and telegram, this is disorienting, in those clients, the input bar gets focused on the first key-press, with everything you "just type" being put into there.

So, i'd like for that same behaviour to be in element.

Why would you like to do it?

Muscle-memory, but also because it makes typing into a room much more comfortable.

How would you like to achieve it?

By making element focus on the input bar (if none others are focused) and put all of my input in there.

Have you considered any alternatives?
