Simple UI Fix to Speed Up Workflow -- One Click Should Select the Whole Field

One small tweak that would significantly improve efficiency:

When clicking into an input field in the toolbar, the entire value should be automatically selected.

Right now, clicking into a field just places the cursor at the end of the number. This means we have to either:

  1. Manually delete the existing value before typing a new one.
  2. Double-click to select the whole field, then type the new value.

Instead, the default behavior should be that a single click highlights the entire field, so we can immediately type in a new value and press Enter.

This would eliminate unnecessary clicks and make input adjustments much faster.
It should also be an easy fix in the code!

Some of these micro-features almost qualify as easter eggs. 😄
