I think will very helpful to add possibility to catch selection from the lister and put it to the F7 search dialog.
Your opinion?

The lister search uses the "contained text" string from your last Alt+F7 search by default.

Anyway, I would also prefer to overwrite this with the current lister selection as it's standard text editor behaviour to use selected text as search string.

Yes, sure, why not? It's rather simple to implement.

Support.
The last search string is stored in the history anyway. Restoring this would only one key press (Cursor_down), while Ctrl+C, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+V would be at least 3.

Plus using F3 and F5 (continue search) to search for the marked text without any dialog (as mentionend in the other thread).
