keycode is now deprecated. Use this:

window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
  if ( (e.code == "0x0021" && e.key == "Control") || e.code == "0x003D") {
    document.getElementById("myInput").focus();
    e.preventDefault();
  }
})

<input id="myInput" />

The preventDefault() should be used only if the relevant key is the ctrl+f:

document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
  if (e.keyCode == 70 && e.ctrlKey || e.keyCode === 114) {
    document.getElementById("myInput").focus();
    e.preventDefault();
  }
})
<input id="myInput" />

Otherwise you prevent any keydown that use is doing...
