Convert selection to VS Code selection for "find in project"

First, thanks for this awesome extension, it works great.

I often like to select a range of text and then search for it. Would it be possible to make the selection turn into a real VS Code selection when I press cmd+shift+f? Any selection is auto-filled into the search input, and this would be very useful.

under vscode conditional config

command! FindInFileS call VSCodeNotify('workbench.action.findInFiles', {'query': @p})
xnoremap <silent> <Leader>f "py<Esc>:FindInFileS<CR>

what it does is, it copies your selection to ‘p’ register then use it as a query for the find in files command.

When I tried this, it did not properly select characters containing non-english characters, so if you only use US keyboard this would do, but otherwise using the register is the only option working as far as I know.

I don’t know how to fix this, but I think it needs to be fixed somewhere else in this plugin, as there is ideally nothing wrong with @yogeshdhamija 's implementation (which was taken from code already used to transfer C-S-P). Unfortunately, I think a solution that does not require a register is better, even if it might not work in your case. You are welcome to keep your code in your init.vim.
