Do you know command-E?
Interesting. Is there any functional difference between Command-E + Command-F and Command-C + Command-F + Command-V? The latter seems so simple that I was surprised to see a built-in command that replicates it only to save one keystroke...
Often you would do: cmd-C, cmd-F, cmd-V, return. Instead you can do cmd-E, cmd-G. So you save 2 key strokes, you do not lose the contents of your clipboard _and_ you do not need to use cmd-G in the same application.
For example if Console, Terminal, Mail, Safari or similar have something you want to search for in your sources, press cmd-E in that application, and cmd-G in TM vice versa. It also works nicely with Quicksilver’s queries, in that the default text there is what’s on the shared find clipboard.
But in the simple case, it is functionally equivalent to pasting the selection in the find dialog.
