Azure Portal's "G+/" hotkey is not always functional

Question

In the Azure Portal, there is a Global Search function. When I want to move my keyboard cursor to that input box, I can hit "g" and a "/" key to move there. But this hotkey is not always functional.

I can reproduce this problem.

1. Go to home: https://portal.azure.com/#home
2. Mouse click on "Subscription" into this page: https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Billing/SubscriptionsBlade
3. Then use the keyboard hit "g" and "/" in sequence. The focus will not jump to search field.

Answer 1

The right way to use this hotkey is, press and hold "g" key, then press "/" after it.
