Hi Nathan

nice stuff. One more thing I have been thinking about is that we could
do the search in a way the browsers nowadays do it: keep the widgets
for search hidden by default, saving further vertical space. The
search bar would be opened only after clicking a search button or
pressing the usual ctrl+F or "/" shortcut.

Final ideas:
- "show selected only" may become a checkable tool button in the group
of selection buttons
- IMHO the "move selected to top" button may be removed. It used to be
there from the ancient times of the attribute table when there was no
"show selected only" option
