Open opening "Find", use currently selected text as "Find what"

uid 13 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 12 years ago • 2
If any text is currently selected in the focused document, opening "Find" should use it (as "Find what"). It saves an extra copy and paste.

I'd prefer to click a "Reset" button in the "Find dialog" in cases where the text for which i'm looking isn't highlighted, than focus the document, copy, paste to "Find What" before I can search

The find_selected_text file setting is used for this. It defaults to false on OS X to adhere to platform conventions.
