[PATCH 2/2] gitk: Highlight first search result immediately on incremental search

From: Stefan Haller <stefan@haller-berlin.de>
Date: Sep 22, 2012, 07:40 UTC
Message-ID: <1348299625-90207-3-git-send-email-stefan@haller-berlin.de>
In-Reply-To: <1348299625-90207-1-git-send-email-stefan@haller-berlin.de>

When typing in the "Search" field, select the current search result (so that it gets highlighted in orange). This makes it easier to understand what will happen if you then type Ctrl-S.
