Better in-page search

[janzheng]

Hi there,

I usually end up writing quite long vals (500+ lines), which doesn't all fit on the screen in a val, and if I have to scroll.

Any text that I need to scroll to find is also not findable by cmd+f (probably due to how vals are rendered) — I'm wondering if we can have an in-page / in-val search that searches the whole text of a val, and lets me go up/down to find every instance of it? (It can use the chrome cmd+f or a special one, it doesn't really matter; though a find/replace would be nice too!)

Hi @janzheng, thanks for the suggestion! If you use the VS Code editor mode (set via https://www.val.town/settings/editor), we do show a find and replace UI when you hit cmd-f. Are you using the default editor now? I do think we should consider handling cmd-f in the default mode as well, but wanted to let you know that was an option

oh, that was unexpected! Nice!!
