I would love a hotkey to fullscreen a video I am watching, without having to click the the bottom right fullscreen button

What annoys me the most is that we don't have a shortcut for entering the search bar in Steam.
Like Ctrl + L to enter the search bar, like in Firefox and Chrome, then you could open steam, press Ctrl + L to enter search and then type the game you are looking for.

Ctrl + F they show here are only for searching in the steam page you are on, and I don't see that to be as useful as a Ctrl + L shortcut.

Please Valve just give us this! <3

Is there no shortcut for ignoring a title/game?
It would be much more efficient if I can do it like that.

Here's one i frikken found out the hard way after me and friends thought our mics were messed up. Alt + Tab which is a common windows function to check a background window for example...is ALSO the damn MUTE MIC hotkey.
