Feature request description

In Chrome / Edge / Arc / Safari / Firefox:

  • Cmd + F will always select all content in the browser's little search box so that the next character you type will replace all text in the search box, regardless of
    -- If the search box was already open or not, or
    -- If the cursor's focus was already in the search box or not

In Sourcegraph's new file viewer:

  • Cmd + F will only select all content in the new little search box when
    -- Opening the search box
    -- Moving cursor focus back to the search box
  • Cmd + F does not select all content in the new little search box when the cursor focus is already in the new little search box

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.

  • User velocity
  • Distraction from non-standard behaviour

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Workarounds currently available:

  • Use Cmd + A to select all text in the new little search box
  • Close the new little search box by pressing Esc, then reopen it with Cmd + F
  • Move the cursor focus out of the new little search box by pressing Tab or clicking outside of the box, then move the cursor focus back with Cmd + F
