Thanks for the report, I'll have a look at it.

Thanks for the patch, I pushed the fix.

Double-click is already there (pushed on Feb, 6: e5eb4955301). You need to click at the beginning or end of the url to have it select all. Also if the url bar is not focused and you hit ^B, the bar will take the focus with the url selected.

Scrolling is on my todo, I'll get to it. In the meantime you can use ^A or ^E to move to beginning or end of the url.

Just pushed to add stop to menu3
