Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

When I show the Find popup, I get the default context menu and accelerator key support (e.g. Ctrl+P will attempt to print).

I want to be able to disable both for my purposes.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

I don't want context menu items like Emoji and Voice Typing in the Find popup. I suppose most of these items are innocuous.
This mostly came up because the Stop API isn't clearing the search term, so I have a workaround to select all the text in the popup programmatically and press backspace, but you can still press Ctrl+Z and undo that, seeing the previous search term.

While the Stop API isn't fixed, would be nice to block the undo. Though maybe having that in the context menu isn't what's making the hotkey work.

How important is this request to you?

Nice to have. There are other ways to tackle this, but having official API support would be beneficial.
