Hey @Jesse_Hintz!

This should already exist.

If it’s not working, can you share some additional details? Your Cursor version (Cmd + Shift + P > About Cursor) and a screenshot of a file where it’s not working would be a great start.

@Colin, after getting your message and trying more stuff, I found that CMD+F works in source files (i.e., executable code), but not in plan files, which is where I was trying when I opened this thread.

Here are the Cursor details:

Can you try again on v3.10? I’m able to use CMD + F in Plan Files!

Let me know if I’m still doing something differently than you!

It works now, thanks!
