If you highlight the required text then open the Interactive Search
or Search/Replace dialogue box, pressing F7 copies the highlighted
text in to the selected writable icon.
This can also work with other applications, but I'm guessing it
depends on whether the other application uses F7 for its own
purposes. For example, it works with SciCalc or Bookmaker's dialogue
boxes but not Pluto or NetSurf.
