​Yes, but it will be tricky.

The minibuffer must preserve and *show* the selected text when it receives
focus. For example, <Alt-x>delete-comments<Return> would be useless if the
selected text went away.

However, <Alt-x> does *not* preserve headline editing state. This is
probably because the QLineEdit widget for the headline *goes away* when the
QTreeWidget loses focus. This is one of my least favorite things about Qt.

All is not lost.  It is possible to determine, before changing focus, what
widget has focus.  If it is headline edit widget, then it should be
possible to save and restore the selected text.

This is just an overview. Feel free to ask code-level questions.

One more thing.  Leo's Find command must deal with similar complications.
Again, it's possible, but very tricky.
