Placement of cursor when opening page/field

I really wish FamilySearch would do a better job of placing the cursor in the field that the user is most likely to begin typing in.

(most especially on the newer based UI screens that are for doing a SEARCh/FIND)


For example

(when under the FIND option of FamilyTree)

When you click on the PLUS (+) sign for DEATH - place the cursor in the first field of the death fields.

OR

when you click on PLus (+) for Spouse - place the cursor in the first name of the Spouse Name

OR

when you click on Plus(+) for Mother - place the cursor in the first name field of the mother.


Please make it a little more smooth, and intelligent as to cursor placement.

    I'll second that wish.


    Add to the list of examples:

    In the "Find" category, when you select "Find by ID", put the cursor on the ID field. There is no other field on the screen.
