C-a/C-e doesn't seem to work even (I think it did work in earlier
Netscapes, though), in text fields, C-a selects the entire text,
Windows-style. I'm somewhat amazed, though, that / does a forward
search in web pages, like vi (or other tools like less(1), etc.)
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do regular expressions but that
would've been too much to ask ;-).
