Use the NSFindPboard on OS X.

13 years ago • updated by 7 years ago • 5

OS X uses a NSGeneralPboard for cut-copy-and-paste. OS X also has NSFindPboard for sharing searches between applications. It would be great if Sublime Text supported the NSFindPboard. Then, for example, we could select output from a printf in Terminal, use ⌘E to set the find pboard, switch to Sublime Text, and then use ⌘G to find the printed text. It's just another way to make Sublime feel like a first class OS X citizen.

SublimeText does that already.

The finde paste board definitely does not work for me with Sublime Text 2 Beta Build 2181 on Mac OS X 10.7.3. If it works under other configurations, perhaps there's a subtle to be found here.

OK, support for the OS X find pasteboard was added in version 2182. It will be included in the next beta. Or available right now in the dev build.

Excellent.

Can this be disabled via a user setting? I despise macOS messing with Sublime's find-state when switching between applications. It's actually quite jarring.
