The hotkey "Ctrl+;" jumps into the search field of the Solution explorer, but often we want to search the Application explorer and at the moment there is no hotkey for the search field of the AOT.

Hello,

A work around for this might be to configure your own custom shortcut key in the Visual Studio options:
Visual Studio > Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard.

Here you can choose your own shortcut key inside the "Press shortcut keys" field (for example "Ctrl+/" or "Ctrl+Alt+A") then click the Assign button.

If you assign a shortcut key to the "View.ApplicationExplorer" command then this will trigger the Application Explorer pane to have focus. When the Application Explorer pane has focus then the Tab key will activate the Application Explorer Search field/control.

If you assign a shortcut key to the "Dynamics365.Metadatasearch" command then this will open the "Metadata search" pane.
