@leocg ahh gotcha, it's integrated in the sites. for some reason i always assumed it was somehow integrated with chrome.

@leocg I don't think it's an extension or malware, it's default behavior

Hi Hamidd, thanks for asking!

MacOS 11.6

I just tried it with TextEdit, it does not do the same thing.

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!

Here's the behavior I see:

1. have 1 or more windows in Opera open, all in full-screen
2. command-tab from app B to Opera
3. command-n
4. Opera opens a new window and immediately full-screens it

I want to be able to command-n a new window and have it not be full-screened. Is this possible?

In most MacOS apps, command-e is "use selection for find". You can highlight some text, hit command-e, then hit command-g to find in the same page. without it, one must do:

• select
• command-c
• command-f
• command-v
• enter
• command-g...

with it:

• select
• command-e
• command-g...

this is something i do a dozen times a day in other browsers.

would it be possible to get "use selection for find" in Opera? Thanks for listening!
