I have a bunch of files open and I want to extract all the lines that match a grep pattern from all the files. I do not want to do this from the shell, because I do not want to save the files in their current state.
It doesn't matter if I copy or cut the matching lines, but I would like all the matches to be in a new single file.

Please try the 'Extract' command in the Multi-File Search window. ;-)
