### What issue do you have?

To add a hyperlink, select text and press CMD-K.  
So far so good.  
But now the cursor (focus) is on the "Text to display" field.  
Why? Didn't I just select the text?  
_ **The focus should be on the URL field** _

People expect the focus to be on the URL field, that is how every other application/editor works.

BTW, the URL field should be wider, at least the size of the "Text to display" because it will always be bigger)
