Select previous query text in Search field

Open stinos opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Problem description

Hitting Ctrl-F then starting to type only works once, because the previous search query text is still (which is good) but the cursor is after the text, so the previous text first needs to be deleted manually (not good, requires one multi-key keystroke like Ctrl-Backspace).

Preferred solution

Like in Sublime Text, VSCode, Visual Studio, ...: retain the previous text in the search field but select it. Result:

  • just starting to type erases previous text and new query just works
  • the other case where one wants to modify the previous query still just works without change

(note that the Filter text box actually works like this already)
