[Bug]: Ctrl + F not working in snippet editor #608

Description

Describe the bug

If I press Ctrl + F whilst the snippet editor is active, a find dialog doesn't appear (and it doesn't take me to the search area). However, if I press Ctrl + F and then Ctrl + V (paste) then Enter it will find/highlight words in the snippet editor area (without showing a find & replace dialog box).

To reproduce

  1. Go to the snippet editor area and activate it (start typing).
  2. Press Ctrl + F
  3. Nothing happens.

    It is not entirely clear what this is about. There is no search dialog as such, only an input field above the snippet list.

    1. The issue is pressing Ctrl + F whilst editing a snippet doesn't activate the input field above the snippet list to start searching/finding something (but the Edit menu's Find option suggests Ctrl +F should active the input field).
    2. The second bonus is that there appears to be a hidden/background find dialog option that seems to highlight text. Eg. when editing a snippet, press Ctrl + F, then type a search term/word, then press enter, and it highlights text in the snippet editor area that matches the search term.

    In 4.1.0, I can now use the search area to highlight words and use this easter egg to highlight words!

    1. I cannot reproduce the bug, as cmd+f works as expected.
    2. Overall, it is unclear; there is no hidden field, etc.
