Provide shortcut for typing a Search/About/Locate/... query

[RalfJung]

ProofGeneral has this great feature that I use a lot:

• Hit Meta-C Meta-A Meta-{B,L,A} (the exact combination does not matter of course, just that there's one shortcut per query type)
• The focus switches to a little query prompt at the bottom of the editor window. The content of the query defaults to whatever I have selected, or if I have not selected anything then it defaults to the identifier the cursor is in.
• After possibly changing the query, I hit "enter" and it runs About <string>/Locate <string>/Search <string>.

In vscoq, similar shortcuts exist, but they seem to only be able to search what I have selected -- I can't type my own query. To type my own query, I have to switch my right hand to the mouse, open the vscoq panel, select the desired query type, select the query text field, type the query, and hit enter -- that takes so long that I'd rather just type About <string>. into the editor.

It would be great if either the existing shortcuts could be repurposed to also support a customizable query, or new shortcuts could be added to implement "jump to vscoq panel, select a given query type, fill the query text with the selected string, and put the focus in the query text field (with the entire field contents being selected so that I can easily overwrite them)".

FWIW the details can of course be different -- I am not sure what the best/idiomatic way to do such a "prompt" in vscode is. The key point is to be able to do something like "hit shortcut, type query (pre-filled sensibly), hit enter, see result".
