      Hi,
      is there a way to highlight (select) text and search for it using a keyboard shortcut?

      thanks :)

        Yes! If you highlight a certain text and then press ‘Ctrl-F’ on your keyboard, then the Find tool will open up with your highlighted text already in the box. Then you can just press enter to search for it.

        There you go!
