<![CDATA[Support for MacOS command-E "Use selection for find"]]>A convention and feature in MacOS is command-E mapping to "Use selection for find". This puts whatever is selected into the current app's "find" field. So instead of this:

  1. select text
  2. command-c
  3. command-f
  4. command-v (opera does do this part for us automatically, so that's nice)
  5. enter or command-g to find instances

If "use selection for find" is supported, the above is replaced with this:

  1. select text
  2. command-e
  3. enter or command-g to find instances

Additionally, "Use selection for find" will put the text into a global "find buffer" (not sure what the technical API term is) that other apps use. So this can be done:

  1. select text
  2. command-e
  3. switch to another app
  4. command-g

It would be great of Opera could support this!
