AutoHighlight Input Extension

When you come across a pre-populated input box and go to click it, chances are your intention is to delete the entire content and replace it with your own.

This extension will save you the step of manually highlighting all of the text once the input field gains focus. The content of the input will auto-highlight so you can easily delete or begin typing over the existing content.


Sample Use Case
Amazon search results will show what you searched in the textbox at the top screen. To perform another search, you have to first manually highlight the contents in the textbox to remove it.
