SIDEBAR TABS THAT CONTAIN FILTER FIELDS
`Symbols`
`Documents`
`File Browser`
`Tree Browser` 

When the `Sidebar` is visible and focus is in the typing pane
If you use the `Switch To Sidebar` keybinding
Focus will go from the typing/editor pane into the filter field of the 
currently active `Sidebar` tab.

With this behavior, this basically makes `Switch To Sidebar` keybind function 
more like a "Universal sidebar filter field focus" action.
The only `Sidebar` tab I am aware of that does not have a filter field is the
`Bookmarks` tab which is included in the "Addons" plugin.
The `Switch To Sidebar` keybinding in this case just applies focus into the 
`Bookmarks` tab.
To me, all of this is great, it allows a single keybinding to achieve expected 
behavior for all `Sidebar` tabs available.

However there is one issue I noticed with this keybinding.
If the `Sidebar` already has focus, then this `Switch To Sidebar` keybinding 
does not do anything.
It would be great if the `Switch To Sidebar` keybinding would bring focus to 
each of these `Sidebar` tabs filter field, like it does when typing/editor pane 
has focus.
This would give this keybinding even more useful functionality as it is not 
used for anything when `Sidebar` tabs already have focus.

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to make an update like this.

Thank You

The `TreeBrowser` plugin is a 3rd party plugin, I made a post for this as well.
