I didn't know about "Use Selection for Find" so I've been doing a cut and paste into the Find dialog. It's still kind of annoying on the replace side since I don't think of \r or \t except as LaTeX strings so I've accidentally added return characters into my text in the past. So, I'm guessing there isn't a way to disable \r and \t as special characters so we don't need to escape them. That's unfortunate.
