Subject: [PATCH] fix(engine): the search keys commit the query they end or
 replace

Ctrl+E during an emoji search, Ctrl+H during a hanja search, or either
during the other search dropped the typed query, while every other
Ctrl key committed it as the README says. Escape is the way to cancel;
the search keys now commit the shown text like a language switch.
