## Summary
iOS equivalent of [Android PR
#6337](https://github.com/home-assistant/android/pull/6337). Adds a new
`quickSearch` gesture action that triggers the quickbar introduced in
Home Assistant 2026.2.
**Changes:**
- New `quickSearch` case in `HAGestureAction` enum
- Version-aware keyboard dispatch: `Ctrl+K` for HA 2026.2+, falls back
to `E` key for older versions
- New `quickSearchKeyEvent` JavaScript command with `ctrlKey: true`
- Version constant `quickSearchKeyboardShortcut` (2026.2)
- Localization strings for "Quick search"
- Test case for `quickSearchKeyEvent` in
`WebViewJavascriptCommandsTests.swift`
Existing `searchEntities` action unchanged for backward compatibility.
```swift
private func showQuickSearch() {
let command: String
if let serverVersion = webView?.server.info.version,
serverVersion >= .quickSearchKeyboardShortcut {
command = WebViewJavascriptCommands.quickSearchKeyEvent // Ctrl+K
} else {
command = WebViewJavascriptCommands.searchEntitiesKeyEvent // E key fallback
}
webView?.evaluateJavaScript(command) { ... }
}
```
## Screenshots
N/A - gesture action appears in existing settings UI via
`HAGestureAction.allCases`

## Any other notes
Mirrors Android behavior: new quickbar (Ctrl+K) on 2026.2+, legacy
entity search (E) on older versions.
