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!
