Enable Ctrl+F Search in Code Editors
planned
Livia Kuhn
It would be helpful if it was possible to use standard keyboard shortcuts to search for text in the code editors.

When is this coming in the Markdown editor? You cannot close QOL and usability requests simply because you addressed it in only ONE of your editors

Hi Everyone, in our Advanced WYSIWYG editor, you can search the keyword from the code view. I've attached a screenshot for reference, kindly let us know if this meets your expectations.
We would like to change the status of this feedback. If you have any concerns, please write us below.
Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

Prabhakaran Parasuraman I'm afraid this does not meet my expectations as when I search for a word in the code editor it will not find that word unless it is basically visible on the screen. To test this, identify a word that appears at the bottom of a longer page, go back to the beginning of the page, press Ctrl-F and it enters a search mode in the browser (not really a search in the editor), enter the word that exists at the end of the document will not be included in the search count. This provides no way to locate (and replace) a specific text string from within the code view of the Advanced WYSIWYG editor.
On a side note, there is no method of replace at all which is really a must!

David Gregory I have observed the same concerning behavior rendering the find function to be rather pointless if it is limited to only what is currently shown on the screen. I agree, the find needs to work beyond what is visible on the screen. And agreed, what is a find without a replace. You are using the find because you have to 'repair' something and that typically implies 'replace'. Goes hand in hand.

Sarah König thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this in future roadmaps

I'd also love it if we could click E on the keyboard to enter the Editing mode of the article

Merged in a post:
Enable search in custom css
Yoni Hubermann
When using the custom CSS editor, would be nice to have the option to search in the code. The ctrl+F function of the browser only goes so far as what is currently displayed in the CSS editor, and does not search throughout the whole content of the CSS definitions.

Hi Tousif Rob, Thank you for your valuable feedback; this will be extremely beneficial to the regular editors, so we have added it to our pipeline; we will provide an update once implementation begins.

Examples:
Headings: Ctrl + 1/2/3
Insert Link: Ctrl + K
Remove formatting: Ctrl + /

Also it would be nice to be able to search (or search and replace) in the code of all articles. The current search only finds text.
