People have been steadily requesting keyboard shortcuts and other typing enhancements, but I wanted to go the other way.
When the text entry field is filled with a URL, there's no way to clear it quickly and easily with the mouse (no, Context menu → Select All; Context Menu → Delete does not count as quick and easy), should one wish to restore the initial blank canvas in preparation for future URL typing/pasting.
Something like Qt's QLineEdit.clearButtonEnabled, which automatically shows a clear icon at the end of the input area whenever it's non-empty, would be cool. Of course, GtkEntry doesn't seem to have anything quite so convenient, and you're already using that part of the widget to display the "Go"/"Submit" button... :man_shrugging:
