Subject: [PATCH] feat(frontend): focus the page search box with / on the list
 sections

Extends the global `/` shortcut to focus the always-on search input on
Tags/Categories/Pools, matching what the help overlay advertises. Files
keeps its own `/` handler since it has no persistent input and instead
opens the filter bar.
