F3 shortcut for search and replace within a Jupyter Notebook cell does not work anymore
Applies To
- [X] Notebooks (.ipynb files)
- [ ] Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)
What happened?
Before 1.75 vscode or jupyter extension v2023.2.1000411022 I was able to press F3 to find and replace within a cell.
Now F3 does nothing in the notebook.
I am on Linux OS.

Running Jupyter locally or remotely?
Remote
The enter key has some strange behavior as well when within the find widget. Doesn't go to the next selection, doesn't trigger a replace.
@rebornix
The find widget for a single cell is not working anymore, nothing happens after pressing the shortcut key, hope it can be resolved soon!
This is the normal effect.
Так почему мы медлим?

This makes using notebooks extremely frustrating.. is there a work around at least?
My work around is to open the .ipynb file as a text file (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/65566417/12422298) then do my standard search-replace, then save and re-open the file as a notebook and continue working. Much faster than dealing with the UI in its current state.
Using shortcut CTRL + F2 (Change all occurrences) replace, does not replace but positions the cursor at the end of the selected text, within a Jupyter Notebook cell the text you have selected previously.

Still not work
Can confirm, pressing f3 does nothing in Jupyter notebooks.
Also, when using regular search and then editing some lines with find-matches in it, the search counter randomly jumps back. E.g. I search for something, find 40 matches, I go to match #30, then edit that line, the match counter goes back to 5, so I press "find next" and it pushes me back to match #6, not match #31.
Both is so frustrating that I am using other IDEs for Jupyter notebooks.

and it does not work yet. I understand the binary open/closed mechanic of issues but I'd say that until it's reasonably un-seen by users is when it's closed
