           Summary: Find in page does not set focus to found link after
                    closing the find box.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dharris+webkit at gmail.com


To recreate:

1. Go to google.com
2. Press Ctrl+F and type in "about"
3. Press escape to close the find in page bar

The searched text is highlighted, but I expect that if I hit the enter key I
would follow the link. I have the "Press Tab to highlight each item on a web
page", but that always starts with the first link on the page -- not from where
I've recently searched.

One goal, probably the primary goal, of adding this is to be able to navigate
without using a mouse.

For example, if I'm on a retail store's site (e.g. walmart.com or target.com),
I know that somewhere on the page there will be a link for "store finder" or
"store locator". On such sites, I search for "store", hit cmd+g (next match) if
necessary to find the right link, then hit enter to follow the link. This is
faster than visually scanning the whole page for the text and using the mouse.
