I want to see inside the file, like sublime search. At some point I think you have that feature but I am not sure. I can’t enable.

I am talking about this search, when I click the bottom button on keyboard it must be show me inside the file.

I can use right arrow button too but it opens many tabs.

Can you help me?

Hey, we did experiment briefly with a feature on this, but it has since been removed as it didn’t really work!
