triggering search via cmd+k captures all future keystrokes

[mguida22]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

Once someone has entered the search component via cmd+K, all future keystrokes are sent to the search even when it's closed. This makes it impossible to use commands like cmd+R or cmd+L because they are captured in search.

I've tested this on a mac using chrome. It is reproducible on https://docusaurus.io/ as well as my site running docusaurus 3.9.2 and 3.8.1.

Reproducible demo

reproducible on the Docusaurus docs

Steps to reproduce

1. go to https://docusaurus.io/
2. enter cmd+K to bring up search
3. enter escape to close search
4. enter cmd+R to reload. Notice that this doesn't reload the page but instead opens the search modal with the text r

Expected behavior

Commands like cmd+R and similar are executed properly and not captured by search.

Actual behavior

the text is captured in the search input

Your environment

• Public source code: https://docusaurus.io/
• Public site URL: https://docusaurus.io/
• Docusaurus version used: I've reproduced on 3.9.2 and 3.8.1
• Environment name and version (e.g. Chrome 89, Node.js 16.4): Chrome Version 142.0.7444.176 (Official Build) (arm64)
• Operating system and version (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS): macOS Sequoia 15.6.1

Self-service

• I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

Can I work on this issue?

[Josh-Cena]

Interesting, I'm not sure if this is controllable by us—I'm almost sure this needs to be fixed in Algolia instead.

I can reproduce, but it seems to only happen depending on how you close the modal.

I can reproduce for the following ways of closing the modal:

• pressing "esc"
• clicking the "x" modal button
• clicking a search hit

This is definitely a DocSearch bug that can be reproduced outside of Docusaurus, I reported it here: algolia/docsearch#2809

[mguida22]

This was fixed in DocSearch and should be included in the upcoming DocSearch v4.4 release algolia/docsearch#2809 (comment)

[slorber]

v4.4 is out but I can still reproduce: algolia/docsearch#2809 (comment)

[mguida22]

@slorber it looks like this was fixed again in v4.5.0-beta.1 and docsearch was upgraded in docusaurus via #11683.

I can't reproduce on https://docusaurus.io/ anymore. I'll leave this ticket open until the changes make it into a release, but feel free to close if you prefer. Thanks for the help!
