I love Bear’s new-ish Quick Open interface. I want to be able to open Bear directly to the Quick Open interface from URL schemes and/or Shortcuts, e.g. to put a shortcut icon on my iOS home screen that jumps directly there rather than requiring extra steps, or to set a system-wide hotkey to jump to it on macOS.

Please consider adding this. It might _optionally_ take a string to initialize the Quick Open query, but I mostly just want to get straight to this interface and start typing with as little friction as possible across my devices.
