Is there an easy way to set clickSelectsAll to the Find Bar (Ctrl+F)? (Similar to browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll).

Thanks.

Pressing Ctrl+f again will (re)select the contents of the Find bar. Now... how will I remember that?

Control F will also copy selected text to the Find bar, so if some text is selected in the currently open tab then it will replace what is in the Find bar.

Thank you all.

I'm using a toolbar button: oncommand="goDoCommand('cmd_selectAll'); goDoCommand('cmd_paste');"/>

I was wondering if there might be an easier way (e.g. if 'clickSelectsAll' is an attribute that can be changed). I guess I should check the source file.
