I've been trying to get used to doing cmd-E, cmd-G instead but I keep trying to do things the old way too, which for me was accessing "Find selected text" from the contextual menu. Ah well.

Yes, that's exactly it. I'm also trying to do the cmd-E, cmd-G thing, but years of muscle memory is making it difficult. :)

I don't quite understand the difficulty here. Use Selection for Find (-E) and Find Next/Again (-G) are standard commands available in most text-based applications that support searching including Mail, Safari, Text Edit, Code Warrior, and many others. Seems like a very small adaptation to make compared to, say, switching from Code Warrior to Xcode. ;-)

Well, they've been the standard way to do it ever since Apple stole cmd-H (find selection) ;-)
