There are a number of keyboard shortcuts already available in the Search window that are not exposed in the UI:

  • Ctrl+F to refocus on the search field and select all its contents
  • Ctrl+Shift+G to add a new glossary item

There is also demand for additional options:

  • Ctrl+Shift+I to insert current segment source
  • Ctrl+Shift+R to replace with current segment source

To that end it would be good to add at least an Edit menu to the Search window.

New menus:

  • File
    • Ctrl+F Search for Selection: Replaces search field contents with current selection in results pane (if any), then focuses the search field and selects all contents
    • Ctrl+W Close
  • Edit
    • Ctrl+Shift+I Insert Source
    • Ctrl+Shift+R Replace with Source
    • ----
    • Ctrl+Shift+G Create Glossary Entry...

-In addition it is currently not possible to close the Search window with `Ctrl+W`. This would traditionally go in a File menu.

    Under Windows, at least, closing the menu with Escape closes the window.
