Whenever I make a new train station, I replace the default backer name with a descriptive one. Currently, this requires backspacing over the existing name. For numeric fields in logistic requests and the circuit network, double-clicking on the text box clears the field and gives it cursor focus.
It'd be nice if this worked for text fields as well.

Add "Clear text" button into Search and Text fields
TL;DR
Add "Clear text" button into Search and Text fields.What ?
Add a small "Clear text" button to the search field and possibly other text fields (object names, etc.).Just a small cross on the right side of the text field.
The button appears if the field is non-empty.
The example is in the image below:

Why ?
It's very convenient, you don't have to manually erase all unneeded text.-

Right click does this.
