Fix search results navigation focus going to "Learn more" links instead of search results

[Copilot]

When navigating to a search result in PowerToys Settings, the focus was incorrectly going to the "Learn more" links section instead of the actual search result item, making keyboard navigation difficult.

Problem

The SettingsPageControl was unconditionally setting focus to the PrimaryLinksControl (which contains "Learn more" links) in its UserControl_Loaded event handler, regardless of whether the page actually had any primary links or whether it made sense to focus them.

For the search results page, this meant:

1. User searches for a setting
2. Search results page loads
3. Focus automatically goes to an empty/hidden "Learn more" section
4. User cannot properly navigate the actual search results

Solution

Modified the focus logic in SettingsPageControl.xaml.cs to only set focus to primary links when they actually exist and are visible:

// Before: Always set focus to primary links
PrimaryLinksControl.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);

// After: Only set focus when primary links exist and are visible
if (PrimaryLinks?.Count > 0 && PrimaryLinksControl.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
    PrimaryLinksControl.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);
}

Impact

• Search Results Page: No primary links defined → Focus stays on search results (fixed)
• Regular Settings Pages: Primary links exist → Focus behavior unchanged (maintains compatibility)
• Edge Cases: Hidden primary links → No inappropriate focus set (improved robustness)

This surgical change maintains all existing functionality while fixing the search navigation focus issue.

Fixes #41374.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• i1qvsblobprodcus353.vsblob.vsassets.io
  • Triggering command: dotnet build (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
