Came here to pose exactly this question. Many years ago, BBEdit worked
that way: if you had text selected and hit Cmd-F, it checked "selected text
only" automatically. I would love this feature, and wondered why they ever
took it out. Will try to train myself to use the Ctl-shift-S control. I

It has always puzzled me that "Text" actions like "Apply Text Filter,"
"Sort Lines...," "Process Lines Containing...," etc. default to the current
selection, if there is one, or the entire document otherwise, but
Find/Replace doesn't. While this might be too drastic a change to foist

Is there a way to make that happen, i.e. that when text is highlighted, the
search window automatically has the "Selected text only" checked, and when
