Cmd-E not working for search scrollback in 1.3.0 tip release for MacOS

[senderista]

Issue Description

I cannot use Cmd-E as the standard MacOS shortcut to enter selected text in the Find dialog.

Expected Behavior

With copy-on-select = clipboard in my config, I expect to be able to select text, press Cmd-E, and then use Cmd-G and Cmd-Shift-G to search forward and backward respectively for the selected text, with all matching text highlighted, without having to use Cmd-F. This is the workflow I'm accustomed to in iTerm2, VSCode, Safari/Chrome, and all other standard Mac apps I've used, so I expected it to work in ghostty as well.

Actual Behavior

If I enter text in the Cmd-F dialog, then shift focus back to the terminal window, then Cmd-G and Cmd-Shift-G appear to work and matching text is highlighted as expected. But Cmd-E (copy selected text to the find dialog) doesn't appear to work at all, so I get no highlighting of matching text or navigation between matches with Cmd-G unless I first enter search text in the Cmd-F dialog.

Reproduction Steps

1. Display some output on the terminal with a repeated string foo.
2. Copy foo to the Find dialog by selecting it and pressing Cmd-E.
3. Try to navigate between matches for foo with Cmd-G.

I acknowledge that:

• I have reviewed the FAQ and confirm that my issue is NOT among them.
• I have searched the Ghostty repository (both open and closed Discussions and Issues) and confirm this is not a duplicate of an existing issue or discussion.
• I have checked the "Preview" tab on all text fields to ensure that everything looks right, and have wrapped all configuration and code in code blocks with a group of three backticks (```) on separate lines.

because it does not exist this is a duplicate request #9776

from your reproduction steps that isn't necessarily exactly the same but similar, it still does not exist so this is a feature request not a issue

[senderista]

Thanks, I updated that issue. However, this is not just a missing feature: it is also a UI inconsistency between ghostty and every popular MacOS app I've used (including ITerm2). Cmd-E is a standard shortcut so Mac users expect it to just work.

I'd still like to merge these. Thank you.
