Codemirror search is broken

[RobinHood]

Affected version

2.2.3

When editing templates in the ACP and you ctrl f to find something, after you hit enter to execute the search, the search box disappears.

This is incredibly annoying as you can't cycle through all though results and frequently I end up accidentally adding line breaks to the code where I don't intend to, which breaks things.

This doesn't seem to happen in the Wordpress codemirror editor. You can keep hitting enter to cycle through all the results.

Yes, this is a massive inconvenience when producing any template edits.

CodeMirror keyboard shortcuts

CodeMirror is a JavaScript component, used to provide a code editor in a web browser. It has features like syntax highlighting, auto indentation, big document handling, customizable key bindings including Vi and Emacs modes.

Ctrl-g will find the next instance.

Not taking away from your report, I just wanted to add there are shortcuts out there to help.

Made a suggestion for some general improvements here

Lack of interest - Tweak codemirror and ACP code editing and viewing

It's a pain in the rump sometimes using the built in editor as it's missing basic functionality like an intuitive ctrl + f that allows you to quickly and easily cycle through results with enter, without accidentally adding line breaks to your code. (How it works in the wordpress code mirror)...
