When the "Add file link" dialog is opened, the text field labeled "Link" should be focused automatically. This improves usability by allowing immediate typing without requiring a mouse click.
Steps to reproduce
- Open JabRef
- Create a new library: File → New library
- Click the + button in the toolbar to add a new entry
- In the entry editor, select the General tab
- In the File section, click the + button
- The "Add file link" dialog appears — the "Link" field is not focused
Expected behavior
The cursor should automatically be placed in the "Link" field when the dialog opens.
Good first issue
This is a simple UI improvement. Relevant code is in org.jabref.gui.linkedfile.LinkedFileEditDialog.
