Use Enter button to Search

When searching a column for a keyword, I should be able to hit the "enter" button to make it search instead of requiring me to click the "Add Filter" button. It's really annoying.

    If you want a keyboard only method for this, a few quick Tab keys will take you from the selection to the Add Filter Button and then an Enter key input will select that filter for you. I know it's not ideal, but it does save a bit of time and sanity if you're into that sort of thing.

    Let's go team 😉. Let's work on this basic (but important in every minutes in the admin role) and make it happen (please 😁).

    Curious if there is any update on this? Seems the best UX solution here is to provide options for both: hitting enter to search OR clicking the "Add Filter" button. It would be helpful to be able to perform searching simply by hitting enter OR clicking the Add Filter button. As a workaround you can hit tab then enter on your keyboard.

    There should be a way to trigger the button to be clicked AND Enter key to submit the interaction with the filter.

    My idea suggestion is about using the Enter button after you have typed in the Add Filter text.

    Hi,

    The need for the "Add Filter" button is driven by the WCAG accessibility requirements, to ensure that all users, including the ones using only keyboard for navigation or screen readers reliant, can use filtering with ease.

    Thank you!

    This is related to Absorb being compliant with disabilities. The add filter button is needed for blind admins.

    Can I add 100 votes somehow?

In the admin portal, it would be great to be able to hit the Enter key to initiate searches, for example rather than having to hit the Initiate Filter button.
