### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug In the IDE, when I select text and press ⌘+F to search, it auto populates the search field so I don’t have to copy paste that value in. This isn’t supported in the Agent Window, so searching within a file is very cumbersome. Would really appreciate if you could add support in the Agent Window for this! ### Steps to Reproduce Select text in file in Agent Window, press ⌘+F, or ⌘ + Shift + F, verify it doesn’t autopopulate search field. ### Expected Behavior It should auto populate those fields ### Operating System MacOS ### Version Information Version: 3.12.17 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor ---

Hi @Rohan_Kanjani! Both Shift + F and Shift + ⌘ + F should work. Am I doing anything differently than you? ---

Sorry I just realized this is specifically in the Changes tab in the Agent Window. When in the Files tab, it works as expected, but in the Changes tab it doesn’t. To repro, create a small change locally, visit the Changes tab and highlight some text and press Command + F. ---

I agree that this would be nice to have, especially since the Files tab already behaves like this! Sharing with the team.
