Search field keeps focus and inhibits other shortcuts.

I use to activate search field by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+/, then I enter the text to be searched and then I press ENTER. Unfortunately the search field remains selected and I can't use shortcuts to manage tasks anymore. I have to take the mouse and click somewhere else in the window.
Is there a way to avoid this behaviour or to give focus back to the whole page?
Tried both with Safari and Firefox for Mac.
Thank you

Pressing Shift+Tab is what I do (in Firefox). That doesn't appear to work in Safari though; Tab-ing through the controls just cycles them and never selects the actual page.

I'm not sure what does either. I'll put this on our list of things to look into; obviously holding focus in the search box is difficult (especially when there's the shortcut to focus it).
