Find in current file

This isn’t a problem, but it would be a very nice feature to have. I’d like to be able to CMD/CTRL + F and find text within the currently selected file.

This would be really nice, for example, when I’m doing line-by-line selections while assembling a commit, and want to search through the file to make sure I’ve selected them all.

Describe the solution you’d like An Edit > Find menu similar to other apps like Chrome. Shortcut of CTRL/CMD + F. A text input similar to chrome pops up, and allows me to type in search terms. I can hit Enter continually to advance to the next found result, which is highlighted in the file view. When the search reaches the last result, advancing to the next wraps it around to the first result. Explicit text matching is fine, but you could add regex, case-sensitive, etc. if you want to get fancy.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I can open the file in my editor and use the find feature there, but this does not help when determining which lines are to be included in the commit within the GH Desktop app.

This feels very similar to #4484
