Bare Bones' says you have menu items for setting the fields before you open the
dialog. Use them.
That doesn't work for me because the source items are often not
from a BBEdit document or the dialog is already open because I
have just done one global replace and want to do another.
But if it's not from a BBEdit document then it shouldn't be an
issue. The modal dialog doesn't prevent switching to another app
and doing a copy.
Personally I find the Enter Search String and Enter Replacement
String (or whatever they are called, I hardly ever pull down the
menus) to be way better than copy & paste. It's fewer keystrokes
and 'special' characters get quoted properly.
I don't even notice that the find dialog is modal since it "just
works" for me. Even drag & drop from other apps works as expected.
