Emacs keybindings do not work in search-editor input textbox

[janmejay]

In the workflow where one launches the search-editor (to find files with content matching a certain string), the textbox (input box) doesn't respect Emacs key-bindings. Eg. Ctrl+f won't move the cursor forward etc.

Unsure if I have used the right name to describe the problem, here is the screenshot of the component that I am referring to. In this case the search term is dataplane.

Search is a fairly common operation and it breaks the flow because one need to switch to arrow-keys to modify the search-term.

I think this would be a valuable feature to have. I am also happy to help implement it (although I have very little experience with VSCode plugin development and have never looked at emacs-mcx source tree, so someone will have to point me in the right direction).

It is also entirely possible that I am missing something (or it may be possible to bind a shortcut specifically for this usecase outside of emacs-mcx). Would really appreciate any inputs that help me do that.
