Find in thread (⌘F) over messages and plans, plus find in diffs #1524
Description
There is no way to search inside the open thread. ⌘K searches across threads (threadSearch.js), but src/keybindings.ts has no ⌘F chord, there is no find bar, and ChangesPanel.tsx/TurnDiffPanel.tsx have no search input. Long threads and big diffs are unsearchable without scrolling.
Proposal (S–M):
- ⌘F opens a find bar over the transcript: messages, tool output summaries, plan cards. Enter/⇧Enter steps through matches, with a match count; Esc closes. The transcript is virtualized, so search the thread's message data, then scroll the match into view and highlight it, rather than relying on DOM
findInPage. - In Changes/turn diffs, the same chord searches the loaded file patches and expands collapsed files that contain matches.
- Register both in the keybinding table so they are remappable and show in the Keyboard sheet.

transcript.findanddiff.find(both default ⌘F), a shared find bar, and data-side matching over messages/plan cards plus loaded patches. Enter/⇧Enter steps hits; Esc closes. Transcript hits expand the tail window / collapsed groups; diff hits select the file so a collapsed/unselected patch opens.currentbits commentedon Oct 11, 2026
