fix(desktop): Cmd+F now searches the page in the integrated browser - #22960
The integrated browser has no find on page. Pressing Cmd+F (Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux) on a loaded page does nothing, and the browser's ⋮ menu has no find option, so the only way to search a page is DevTools. Reported in #22952.
Change
Adds find on page for Electron-rendered browser tabs:
Find bar. Cmd+F opens a find bar over the page. It searches as you type, shows active/total, and supports Enter / Shift+Enter, the arrow buttons, and Escape to close. Closing it hands focus back to the page, so the next Cmd+F works without clicking.
Desktop.PreviewManager gets findInPage / stopFindInPage and forwards Chromium's found-in-page updates. These go through new IPC channels and DesktopPreviewBridge methods. Electron's findNext: true means "start a new search", so the contract names it newSession.
The page sees the shortcut first, as in Chrome. Web apps that bind Cmd+F (editors, forums) keep their own find. The guest preload reports the key back only if the page did not call preventDefault. When focus is inside an iframe the preload cannot see the key, so the host claims it first, as the other forwarded shortcuts do.
Entry points.
preview.find keybinding, default mod+f when previewFocus. It can be rebound in Settings → Keybindings as "Preview: Find on Page".
"Find on page" item in the browser ⋮ menu, showing the current shortcut.
"Find on page in browser" command palette action while the browser panel is open.
Focus after navigation. Submitting a URL now focuses the page, the way a browser's address bar does. Without this, page shortcuts like Cmd+F only work after a click into the page.
Where find isn't available. Streamed/server browser tabs and the web build have no Electron webContents to search. There the ⋮ item is hidden, and the shortcut or palette action shows a short "not available" toast.
Scope and approval
This fixes#22952: Cmd+F, a basic browser function, does nothing in the integrated browser. The issue is not triaged yet. The change covers only that one problem, across the layers it needs: the contract, desktop IPC and preview manager, guest preload, preview UI, and the keybinding entry. If maintainers see this as a feature that needs an Ideas discussion first, I'm happy to move it there.
Verification
Focused tests:
apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.test.ts covers the following:
findInPage maps to Electron's options.
Every found-in-page update reaches subscribers.
stopFindInPage clears the selection.
The page gets the find shortcut first on macOS (Cmd), Linux and Windows (Ctrl). The host opens find only when the preload reports the key unhandled, and claims it first when a subframe has focus.
vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck and tests.
Manual checks in the desktop dev build on macOS, using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser:
Typing in the find bar highlights matches immediately (e.g. 5/134), with no Enter needed.
Next/previous work, and a query with no matches shows 0/0 in red.
Cmd+F works right after a URL loads, with no click into the page.
Cmd+F, Escape, Cmd+F opens the bar again.
The binding shows up in Settings → Keybindings.
Not checked:
Windows and Linux in a real app (only unit tests).
A page that binds Cmd+F itself, to confirm its own find wins.
The palette action on a new, unsaved thread. I fixed that after the recording below, where it is missing.
Before: the browser ⋮ menu has no find option, and Cmd+F does nothing.
After: Cmd+F opens the find bar and highlights matches as you type.
After: the shortcut can be changed in Settings → Keybindings.
Recording, 40 s, showing search as you type, next/previous, Escape and the keybinding setting: find-on-page.mp4
The pull request adds find-in-page to the desktop preview. It connects web controls and shortcut entry points to desktop search operations, reports match counts, and adds page-first handling for the Find shortcut.

Layer / File(s)
Summary
Find contracts and IPC bridge packages/contracts/src/ipc.ts, apps/desktop/src/ipc/channels.ts, apps/desktop/src/ipc/methods/preview.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload.ts
The contracts define search inputs and result events. IPC and preload methods start or stop a tab search and deliver results to the renderer.
Search execution and result delivery apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.ts, apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.test.ts
The manager calls Electron find-in-page operations and publishes match updates to subscribers. Tests cover search options, result events, and stopping a search.
The guest preload reports eligible shortcuts that the page did not prevent. The manager forwards configured page-first commands when the focused main frame leaves them unhandled.
The preview.find command is added to keybindings and action dispatch. The command palette exposes Find when the preview panel is open.
Find bar and preview integration apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewFindBar.tsx, apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewMoreMenu.tsx
The preview view controls Find availability, focus, menu actions, and find-bar rendering. The bar searches, navigates matches, displays counts, and stops searches when cleared or unmounted.
pingdotgg/t3code#25250: Changes shortcut forwarding while a desktop browser page has focus, which connects to this pull request’s page-first shortcut handling.
Suggested reviewers:juliusmarminge, t3dotgg
Merge Risk: Low · up to e3d0a
Find may fail for custom shortcuts, draft threads, or an already-open find bar, and AltGraph typing may open it unexpectedly. These are bounded issues suitable for owner follow-up before or after merge.

The integrated browser had no find on page, so Cmd+F did nothing on a
loaded page. Cmd+F now opens a find bar that searches as you type, with
next/previous, a match count and Escape to close. Find on page is also
in the browser's more menu and the command palette, and its shortcut can
be changed in keybinding settings.
The page sees the shortcut first, as in Chrome, so web apps that bind
Cmd+F keep their own find.

Report configured shortcuts without modifiers.
A preview.find binding such as / is valid, but this filter drops it. Manager.ts leaves the key to the main-frame page, so the find bar never opens when the page does not handle it. Match against the configured shortcuts instead of requiring a modifier or function key. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve the AltGraph guard for forwarded keys.
On Windows, an AltGraph key can produce [ with ctrlKey and altKey set and code equal to Digit8. If find is bound to ctrl+alt+8, this payload can open the find bar while the user types. The manager's earlier AltGraph guard does not apply to this IPC path. Preserve the guard when reporting or decoding the event. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Defer the browser find dispatch until the command palette closes.
When the find bar is already open, executeItem closes the palette and then runs this action synchronously. PreviewView.handleFind therefore attempts to focus the find input while the preview remains inert. The palette’s finalFocus handler can then restore workspace focus. Defer dispatchPreviewAction("find") until the close lifecycle completes.

Support find shortcuts on draft routes.
On a draft route, readRouteThreadRef() returns null. If the browser toolbar has focus, the handler consumes Cmd+F or Ctrl+F without dispatching the find action. Resolve the draft’s thread reference before applying the permission check. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
