Search interface doesn't work as expected
Environment: macOS Sonoma 14.5, MacBook Air M3, NotePlan 3.13.2 (1234)
Using the search bar inside a note doesn't follow macOS conventions.
To reproduce:
1. Go to a note.
2. Bring up the search bar.
3. Type a term that occurs more than once in the note.
4. Press Return to commit search.
Expected behavior:
The first term in the note is highlighted. Pressing Command-G cycles through all occurrences.
Observed behavior:
The first term is highlighted. Pressing Command-G causes the system bell to play, indicating an invalid action.
To get the keyboard command to function properly, you have to shift keyboard focus to the note body.
Notes:
- The arrow buttons at the trailing end of the search field work correctly.
- In the Edit menu, all Find operations are disabled until shifting keyboard focus to the note body. Putting on my developer hat, this seems to be closest to the root cause.
- I'd also suggest that this feature work more like the Notes app and highlight terms interactively as I type.
I'm happy to provide a screen capture on request.
