Adds a filter input field to large select fields.

Screenshot

0.5:

  • Improved, I think even perfect, positioning.
  • The select element is no longer sized or moved. An new select element is inserted to display filter results.
  • It no longer breaks selects with optgroups.
  • Esc key now closes the filter.
  • You can select a result using the mouse now.
  • You no longer need to tab twice to focus the next form field.
  • The select onchange function will be executed when the select was changed by the filter (this was broken since Greasemonkey 0.6.4).
