When I search for e.g. "git" with the / hotkey, I can search for the
same term again with F3, while the search is still running.

However when I abort the search (e.g. to re-sort) and then hit "/"
again, there's no way (I know of) to automatically re-enter the
previous search term.

With less I can simply hit "return" at the / prompt to get my previous
search term.

In htop this could e.g. be done with F3 if the search input is empty.
Currently hitting F3 with an empty search term will simply skip to the
next entry (same as arrow down), which is not very useful.

Also highlighting the search term would be useful (I know this is an
extra feature request, but I'm too lazy to write an email just for that).
