Library filter hotkey?

I use Default UI, and the most useful feature for me is the library filter where I can quickly find what I need. The only drawback is that I cannot find a shortcut to quick access that filter. Yes, I can assign the shortcut to Library / Album List which brings focus the Album List, but then I need to use Tab key to go further to the filter. I can also use Library / Search, but it doesn't work with the folder structure view. Could there be a direct solution I missed, or maybe a workaround using, e.g., AutoHotKey script?

Ok, since no one answered, I had to dig into AutoHotKey scripting by myself ;) , and after a while, I found that the solution to my problem is as simple as this:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class {97E27FAA-C0B3-4b8e-A693-ED7881E99FC1}
^d::ControlFocus, Edit1
Return

Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Add new -> [main] -> Library -> Search -> (choose the key of your choice, mine is just Alt+S). Or if I am mistaken of what you want to achieve and you need to see the tree of Library, after "[main} -> Library" you should go to "Album list". You can tick "Global Hotkey" so it will be available at any time when OS is running.

No, I was willing to put focus neither on Library->Search, nor on Library->Album List. I wanted a hotkey to put focus on that little filter under the Album List (in Default UI). No shortcut possibility is provided for that. But with AutoHotKey I can now get a shortcut to put a focus on any element of foobar2k ;)
