Do not only highlight but select the matched text when searching in edit mode

Use case or problem

keyboard-only navigation to matched string

Proposed solution

Do not only highlight but select the matched text when searching in edit mode.
Then, all non-selected matches can remain just highlighted while we continue editing text. Works that way e.g. in EmEditor.

Current workaround (optional)

find visually highlighted match (can be hard on larger screen), grab mouse, click there.
