YES! F5 and F8 BOXES as PANES, along with Document Selector

There was a POLL here, but apparently I erased it when I edited my title. I don't know how to get it back.

I am not talking about randomly docking these utilities; I am referring to both of these boxes as optional fixed panes. Here's what I mean:
Many of us have large monitors and it would be a blessing — indeed, a merciful blessing — to have
FIND
and
REPLACE
permanently visible at all times where (for example, I now have) the Ansi Code Set and Document Selector panes currently enjoy sizeable real estate in my workspace. Yet what am I in and out of, literally, 99% of the time in Textpad?
FIND and REPLACE
who oblige constant F5's and F8's to summon them to attention.
This is a no brainer folks: Helios could easily program the box currently not in use to be greyed out; just touching it would activate the utility and grey out its mate.
WHAT DO WE USE A TEXT EDITOR FOR, I ASK YOU? So vote to parole Messrs. F5 and F8 from the purgatory of running back and forth from the program; get them their own little patch (geez, it's good enough for ANSI but not REPLACE? tsk tsk); and let us acknowledge that F5 and F8 are doubtless the two most long-suffering keys on your pad.
