find-toolbar: Select pre-filled text in search field

Benjamin Berg requested to merge benzea/select-pre-filled-search-text into master

The change is cool, but I keep doing:

  • Select
  • ctrl+c
  • ctrl+f
  • ctrl+v automatically … stupid muscle memory, and with this the text ends up in the search twice.

With commit 809d76e6 (Pre-fill search field with current selected text) focused text from the website will be pre-filled into the search entry. This is great, but even though the entry is focused, one cannot simply start typing to update the search text.

Improve this user interaction by selecting the pre-filled text.
