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:
- select text
- command-c
- command-f
- command-v (opera does do this part for us automatically, so that's nice)
- enter or command-g to find instances
If "use selection for find" is supported, the above is replaced with this:
- select text
- command-e
- 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:
- select text
- command-e
- switch to another app
- command-g
It would be great of Opera could support this!
