Replace/find panel not using selection (Mac OSX)

#1

Hi,
When I select some text and invoke the replace/find panel, the panel is populated with the previous search string.

I would expect the input to be populated with the selected text. This the default behaviour on Windows.

How do I get my selection to populate on OSX?

Thanks,
Todd

I tried this, but it’s not working:

	{ "keys": "ctrl+f"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "replace", "findUnder": true } }

Did you ever find the solution? I have tried to use Sublime for a long time, and this is the primary reason I have never been comfortable with the program.

I have 20-30 years of muscle memory that Ctrl+F or Cmd+F will provide a usefule Find and Replace dialog. As cool as all the other text manipulations are, I just am not letting that go. i am also sure that I will use countless other programs that will continue to use that shortcut.

Any insight is appreciated.

This seems to be working in ST3 on the latest dev build.
