I'd sure like to be able to set key equivalents for most of what you can do in the Find Dialog. I.e, 
for:

1. set the Find String
2. set the Replace String
3. Replace
4. Replace/Find (next or previous)
5. Replace All

I can live without equivalents for the other settings.

The BBEdit text editor, for example, does a great job with this.

I forgot to mention: once you have the ability to set the Find string without opening the Find 
dialog, it no longer makes sense to automatically set the Find string to the current selection when 
the Find Dialog opens. It's no longer necessary, and is just as likely NOT to be the behavior one 
wants (for example, the selection has changed, but one might want just to toggle the Case 
Sensitive checkbox for the current search). If folks are really attached to that behavior, make it a 
preference.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
