🔍✏️ "Select All Matches" should not change the Find value

(please upvote this ticket --- 20 upvotes needed to move it to the backlog)

When I select a word and do "select all matches" (Ctrl+Shift+L), it's great, but the thing is, it changes the text that's in my Find dialog, to be the text that I'm selecting. I don't want the Find text to change.

I want my peas and carrots separate. When I want to Ctrl+F to find text in a file, I want it to stay fixed and highlight those matches. And when I Ctrl+Shift+L to change multiple instances of a word at a time, I want that to do its thing without messing with my Find.

The same applies to the "Add Selection To Next Find Match".

As far as I can see, there's no option to change this behavior, currently.

Here is a screencap:
