create new Space/Project: cursor starts in Name field

I would like to be able to click on "+ Create Space" or "+ New Project" and be able to immediately start typing the name. This is how the new-Task workflow works, and I find that easy to use. For new Spaces or Projects, I must first select the Project Name or Space Name field before I start typing.

This is already done with CU 2.0! Now when you add a Folder or Space, you'll be able to immediately start typing the name 🙂

Zeb I would like to expand this request to a general cursor improvement suggestion. Maybe this is the wrong suggestion for this idea? Maybe a master idea is needed, that can then aggregate the many requests there are already for more efficient cursor management across the system? But each getting only a few votes.
- Clickup almost never places the cursor in the correct position for any work context.
- In many cases the cursor is in the right field but the focus is not on that area, so typing still doesn't go there without another mouse action.
- Other clickup bugs often cause the cursor to jump to the wrong place, so our typing goes somewhere completely unexpected, and bad.
- Because of that bug, seeing where the cursor is right now, before typing, becomes crucial. So another improvement would be to make the cursor a lot more visible. Ideally, this would be a user setting, as I'm sure many would complain if you made the standard cursor look the way I want it: an old-school terminal blinking box that you can't miss.
I'd like some savvy dev to go through the whole system and set the entry cursor location, and the focus, so that we can click to create then start typing. One click total. No matter what we are creating: task, page, comment, chat entry, view, etc.
Here are some of the requests that could be folded under cursor efficiency:
--Move cursor to next field automatically
--Highlight tasks under cursor
--Save cursor position and task layout
--Shortcuts to add tags, deadlines etc to the task under cursor
--Active cursor in first checklist item after creating new checklist
--Keystroke for search - to move cursor into the search field
Etc.

Hey Bruce Cannon! Thank you for this amazing feedback. I'll definitely surface this to the team!
I would really appreciate sharing some screenshots or GIFs to help us understand more about the cases you mentioned, thanks!
