Requested by one of the codeEdit users but Orion should have it as well.
Here is the original request:
With regex on, when some text is selected and Ctrl-F is pressed, could the control characters be included as regex patterns in the Find box , again as  Eclipse.

One case that Eclipse supports but codeEdit does not, is:
If you select multiple lines and regex is on, find box encoded the new line as "\n" so it could hit the result.

Another cases is:
1. enable regular expression in Find
2. select '.' in editor
3. In Eclipse, '\.' is displayed in 'Find' field. But in Orion, only '.' is displayed
