Excuse me, how one can move cursor or select text in the main window when find
bar has the focus and intercepts all keystrokes? As for taking hands off
keyboard and using a mouse, it is just inefficient - as well as keeping the
find bar floating around in case I might want to keep searching for the same
target. The proper way to use the find window is to use it and close it or even
close it automatically upon find e.g. like in mcedit.

More importantly so far no one has produced a viable workflow for using
selection as the new search target. Why are you so sure that anyone uses it
rather than treating it as a mild annoyance?
