  Before this change, conkeror had two independent sets of editing
commands: one set for content textboxes, and one set for the minibuffer.
The reason was that the minibuffer requires extra processing in order to
do things like update completions.  With this change, the special set of
editing commands for the minibuffer are no longer necessary because the
extra processing I mentioned gets called in a different way.
