Use register's content as command input (exampe: search_regex)

[tdaron]

Hi !

I would be able to select some text, put in in a register, then select my whole file and ask helix to select all ocurences of my "registered" text inside of current selection.

That would avoid having to type some text within "s" shortcut if we could just select it and then search for it inside all the file.

Does this feature exists ? Is there anyway to do it ? (I am ok implementing it myself, but i don't wanna waste my time if no chances for it to get merged)

Edit: it would be cool that we could use special register content as command input for all commands requiring user text-input.

Just found * % s Enter that does that for the search behavior.
A shortcut can be made using A = ["search_selection", "select_all", "select_regex"]
