That is not good.

I did not know about ctrl-U. It certainly is usefull. Problem is that
it's not working in xffm because ctrl-U is an accelerator for
"unselect". I've got the same problem with the delete key not working in
the input box because it's a accelerator for "remove" of main menu. If
you can figure out how to make these keys work in the input entry and
not lose their accelerator properties I would greatly appreciate it.
Further, there would be no reason for the text being selected by
default.
