Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Visit a site with Vector 2022 enabled e.g. French Wikipedia
Resize the window to <1000px wide so the Search bar collapses into just a magnifying glass icon
Press the search accesskey - Ctrl+Option+f on macOS

What happens?:

Chrome - nothing happens
Firefox - magnifying glass is highlighted, and takes pressing Enter to open search bar
Safari - expected result

What should have happened instead?:
The search box expands, and the cursor is placed in it ready to type. This is the behaviour when screen width >1000px, and on Vector Legacy

The Firefox issue is covered by T318305.
Not sure what's going on with Chrome but does seem to be related.

When I remove the accesskey from the input, the access key focuses the search (but does not navigate to it) $('input[accesskey="f"]').removeAttr('accesskey') so I guess we need to either remove that accesskey in JavaScript or remove it from the HTML and add it via JavaScript.
