Doesn't seem to work here (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051112 Firefox/1.5). This is easy to fix using clickSelectsAll attribute added in bug 312642. See also bug 317419 (presumably for SeaMonkey).

The text content in the input field is now selected when focus switches to it with Alt-S. Closing.
