This has annoyed so many times, since I'll often do a search in TextMate, go to my browser and do something involving a text search, and then return to TextMate intending to continue searching where I left off.

In any RichText field, you can copy the font from a selection, and paste it onto some other text.</p> Another clipboard in MacOS that I found pleasantly surprising is the Font clipboard.

Two apps I use regularly don't support it viz. XChat Aqua and Firefox. Notably, neither of those apps. are "pure" Mac apps. - XChat Aqua is an Aqua port of the venerable X11 IRC client xchat and the Firefox web browser is also not a very good Mac citizen :-( - ignoring system proxy settings, and not cooperating very well with the Codetek Virtual Desktop.</p> This is very handy, but unfortunately it seems that application support for it is not universal, even though it is supposedly system wide.

BBEdit has command-h/command-g, but now this is so much better. You've just sold another copy of your app, my friend.</p> I wasn't aware of a system wide find clipboard.
