I have Tools > Options > Editing > Search -> InitializeSearchString == History Retrieval and SelectedText IfExists.
This is mostly OK - except when I select a large block of text intending to do a search in <Current Selection>
#1
Ideally, Slick would know what is my intention and do the right thing.
But in this case, with a large selection Slick could just not jam it into the SearchFor box.
#2
Have a button or hotkey to populate SearchFor with the selected text instead of "SelectedTextIfExists".
Then when I open Find, SearchFor would always be History, and I could hit <Key> and it would get the selected text.
This would would better with AutoEscapeRegEx as well - since this doesn't work now when you toggle UseRe.
#3
Add a button or hotkey to trigger the escape RE function.
Currently, it only has the automatic setting - not always what I want.
Hmm..add regex escaping functionality to the Clipboards dialog.
Clipboards could have:
Paste as escaped RegEx
Paste Unicode As (the behavior of edit -> Other ->Copy Unicode As, but during paste instead of copy).
Paste As ....
Oh wait ... I guess this is the same as the PasteSpecial functionality we have already asked for :-)
