[TxMt] Re: Persistance of search string over multiple programms

[Matt Neuburg]

Unfortunately we've been up and down this road. This is a feature of the system. I hate it too. All applications share something called the Find Pasteboard.

https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nsfindpboard

I particularly dislike this when I switch away from TM to do a find in a different program, come back, and discover that my carefully configured search has been destroyed.

I've asked for a preference that would allow us to decouple TM's search fields from the Find Pasteboard, but this has been flatly refused.

Same effect in the other direction (search words from Skim appear in TM-search), same if I use one of the search dialogues in Skims side panes.  Also same with the mail search in Apple Mail.
