I would like to use the recently-added Search Editor functionality as my primary method of searching across files. I set my keybinding for search.action.openNewEditor to "shift+command+f" to override the default search, and that works great. But if I enter that keybinding again, it opens a new Search Editor. What I want it to do is open the Search Editor on the first press, and if the Search Editor is already open but not focused -- for example, if I'm working in a different tab in the same window -- I want the "shift+command+f" to just focus the already-open Search Editor.
Is this possible?
I've tried monkeying with "When" clauses on several of the Search Editor keybindings, and so far nothing is working. I've also looked through the Default Keybindings JSON and nothing jumps out at me as relevant.
Basically, I only ever want one Search Editor tab open, and any new searches should just append to the bottom. I believe this is how Sublime and Atom both do it and I've missed that functionality.
