Marked should interact with the standard find pasteboard
Marked has deviated from the standard OS X find keyboard shortcuts and doesn't seem to use the find pasteboard at all. It also remaps command-e to mean "Open in Editor" instead of the standard "Use selection for find". This makes it harder to fit Marked into my OS X workflow.
Here are some things that would be easier if it handled find
like other apps do:
- Highlight a word in Marked - Press command-e - Press command-g
repeatedly to find other occurrences - Switch to the editor
(perhaps command-tab) and hit command-g to find the same word in
the source
Or from the other direction:
- Find a word in my editor - Switch to Marked - Press command-g to
find the same word in the rendered preview
The find field should also play along:
- In Marked, command-f to focus on the find field. - Type a word to
find it in Marked. - Switch to my editor and command-g to find it
there, too
Since nearly every text-based app on OS X supports the find pasteboard, I typically jump between web browsers, code editors, note editors, even Mail, Skype, or todo apps and expect to be able to locate words easily. Since Marked doesn't play along, I find myself constantly retyping searches in the find field that I shouldn't need to type there at all.

Marked isn't a text-based app. It's a webkit-based app. The beta improves the find feature, but it's javascript-based and interaction with the system find/pasteboard is probably not going to happen.

I see. Is it not supported natively by webkit on OS X?

The search features in the embedded webkit are heavily crippled.
