Hi. I have a suggestion for a minor feature change in Camino. Does anyone else like this idea?

Problem: When I want to do a Google search, there is usually old search text in the search field at the top. I find that I usually move the mouse to the field, click once, start typing, then realize that my input has been inserted in the middle of the stale text so I have to clear the field and start over.

Current workaround: Either triple-click the text in the search field before typing, or do shift-cmd-F (which is difficult to remember).

Suggestion: Clicking in the search text field should select all of the text so that typing the first character will erase the text to begin the new search.

Cons: Other browsers don't work this way.

Comments?

Indeed, the current "default" behavior is more of a hindrance than a help. Let us remember that the whole "Google" search function is extensible; thanks to CamiTools, I have about 20 search engines listed in there, so I do actually use it a fair amount.

Click once and have all text selected would be the default behavior I would (vastly) prefer.

But I wonder about the whole issue of Cocoa widgets and editable text fields...
