Thanks for the report! I can reproduce on macOS 10.12.6 with 1.33.0-nightly10.

I also noticed that the Open Config Folder does get highlighted as I tab.

A recent issue 21092 in atom/atom seems to be related to this.

Description

When using the keyboard command to install a package the new pane does not autofocus to the input. Requires using the mouse to select the search field. Keyboard bindings should keep us at the keyboard for faster productivity.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ctrl+SHIFT+P
2. Type 'install' or 'settings view'
3. Choose the action 'Settings View: Install Packages and Themes' or 'Settings View: Show keybinds' via ENTER on the keyboard

Expected behaviour:

The opened pane window should be focused on the search 'text input' - especially when pressing Enter as the intension of the keyboard shortcut is to reduce the need for a mouseclick.

Actual behaviour:

Open pane window does not autofocus to the input consistently, more often than not it requires a mouseclick to focus on the search before you can keep typing.

Reproduces how often:
Inconsistent - it happens often but on repeating it can autofocus the input? If the Settings View is open when you perform the steps in another file it is more likely to occur although I'd need to experiment more. Been looking for a good first issue

Looks like focus is already being called, so not sure why it doesn't work. I tried adding a setTimeout and it works, so I suspect a race condition.
