What about PluggableTextMorph? Look at (for instance) the "search" 
field in the MessageNames tool. 

You can try this (lifted from MessageNames) in a Workspace:

plugTextMor _ PluggableTextMorph on: nil "your model here"
					text: nil accept: nil   "your model selectors here"
					readSelection: nil menu: nil.    "your model selectors here"
	plugTextMor extent: 144 at 22.
	plugTextMor setProperty: #alwaysAccept toValue: true.
	plugTextMor askBeforeDiscardingEdits: false.
	plugTextMor acceptOnCR: true.
	plugTextMor setTextColor: Color brown.
	plugTextMor vResizing: #spaceFill; hResizing: #spaceFill.
	plugTextMor hideScrollBarIndefinitely.
	plugTextMor setTextMorphToSelectAllOnMouseEnter.
plugTextMor openInHand.

Of course, you can play with the selection preferences, etc.
