Reported as fully fixed in general 29.8 build.
If it’s still broken for you — please comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I'm glad the focus on the keyboard increment is back, but as previously stated, you need to hit return twice (which started happening with the latest general build) to commit and exit the Preferences Window. Please change it to a single return press like it used to be.

An error occurred while saving the comment Someone on another thread mentioned the keyboard increment is there in the Properties window you can leave open on the side bar, but it's still not as fast as a quick CMD+K/type in your value/hit enter combo.
Change it back Adobe!
An error occurred while saving the comment Today's 29.7.1 update did not fix the issue. It's the first thing I checked. Fingers crossed for the next one.
An error occurred while saving the comment While the search function is nice, I am constantly changing the keyboard increment as a production designer, and the new focus on the search field is massively throwing me off my workflow.
The ratio of me needing to change the keyboard increment vs me needing the search field is probably 1000:1. Every other Preference is one that I probably set once on a fresh install and very rarely change after that.
I understand why the decision was made, but there needs to be a radio button that allows users to choose which field gets highlighted when the preferences window is called.

The fix is pushed into the latest Prerelease build and is scheduled to get shipped into the next general build
An error occurred while saving the comment I'm glad the focus is back on the keyboard increment. Now it just needs to revert back to the single Return to exit the Preferences Panel.

This change broke the existing method to quickly access the Keyboard Increment value, reported here. The team decided to revert this change until a better solution is found. Please watch this space for further news.
An error occurred while saving the comment I appreciate the help Rene. If they choose not to change it back, reprogramming decades of muscle memory to change the keyboard increment the fastest way possible is going to be tough.
An error occurred while saving the comment Is there a downvote button?
I absolutely need the initial focus to be on the keyboard increment as I'm constantly switching keyboard increments to different fractions of inches or mm. I set up all of the other preferences on a fresh install and very rarely have to think of them again.

We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3
You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.
An error occurred while saving the comment As a user with only basic measurement needs, this tool makes way more sense than buying CADTools. (Thanks, Adobe!) Not sure if this is the place for it, or if it should have its own Idea, but after putting the Dimension Tool through its paces, a few issues I'd love to see addressed:
1. For the Dimension Tool to ignore any earlier dimension lines. Sometimes I need to measure off of a line that's under another dimension line.
2. The ability to put the dimension aligned within the line. Not above, not below. ie. ------ 00.00 -------
3. A labelling tool with custom text, ABC, or 123 options.
4. Smaller fractions! Some of us work really small, and 1/64" is important without rounding.
5. For the tool to honour the precision. If I indicate I want precision as '0.00', I don't want it simplified with no decimal if it's a whole number. The 'x.00' is reassuring to clients to let them know the tool isn't rounding.
I ran the update and giggled with glee when the cursor was focused on the keyboard increment. It's weird how something so small can be the one feature I was most excited about returning.
