πŸ’‘ [Feature]:Persistent Search Hint Popup Visibility with Sidebar Scroll InteractionΒ #748

Description

❓ Problem Statement

The current search hint popup (Press Ctrl + K to focus search) is only visible near the initial sidebar position.
However, when the user scrolls down and the sidebar becomes visible again through the existing opacity transition behavior, the search helper popup does not maintain proper visibility and positioning consistency.

This creates a small UX inconsistency because the search interaction hint disappears even when the sidebar search bar is actively visible again, which cause problem because user do not gets to know about the short-cut key.

πŸš€ Proposed Enhancement

Enhance the sidebar search interaction by making the search helper popup appear consistently whenever the sidebar itself becomes visible during scroll behavior.

The improvement includes:

  • Displaying the search helper popup dynamically along with the sidebar visibility state.
  • Maintaining proper alignment beside the sidebar search input.
  • Improving discoverability of the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + K).
  • Creating a more polished and responsive UI experience.

πŸ› οΈ Suggested Implementation

Possible implementation approach:

  • Track the sidebar visibility state already controlled through opacity transitions/intersection logic.
  • Synchronize the popup visibility with the sidebar active/visible state.

  • I am a registered GSSoC 2026 contributor.
  • I would like to implement this feature myself.
