Command-e, put the selected text on the find clipboard.

Then command-e, command-g (find next) will search for the selected text without sacrificing the copy/paste clipboard.

Also, the find clipboard is shared between apps, so you can command-e in Safari, then command-g in Xcode.

Get Alfred. Clipboard history will change your life.

I've been using Copy'em Paste but Alfred looks like a beast.

It is a beast. If you are a dev you can extend it with scripts.

And eject a disk from the desktop.

Note, cmd+e seems to be a safari thing; no such luck in chrome. I just cmd+f again.

Works fine on Firefox. I'd say breaking it is a Chrome thing.

[replugged]

Actually, doesn't work for me in Firefox (68.0.1)

In chrome, cmd+e updates the search text, cmd+g starts the search and iterates through results, shift+cmd+g goes backward through the results
