AliExpress: keyboard shortcut to the search box
The slash key instantly moves the cursor into the search field and selects its contents.
Code to copy
// Press the slash key to jump straight to the search box
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.key !== '/') { return; }
if (e.target && /^(INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT)$/.test(e.target.tagName)) { return; }
const box = document.querySelector('input[name="SearchText"], input[type="search"], [class*="search-key"] input, [aria-label*="Search" i]');
if (box) {
e.preventDefault();
box.focus();
box.select();
}
