Description

Describe the bug
There is no way of searching the Output panel now. I used to be able to do so with Ctrl -F but now I all I get is scrolling.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Output panel
  2. Enter Ctrl-F. This will make you scroll down rather than bring out the search box.
  3. Disable the extension and enter Ctrl-F and it will bring up the search box.

Expected behavior
Ctrl-F should bring up the search box on the top right.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.21.3
  • VSCode version: 1.57.1
  • OS: Windows 10

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the VSCode Output panel with VSCodeVim 1.21.3 enabled, then compare Ctrl-F behavior with the extension disabled. Trace the extension's Ctrl-F handling and verify that Ctrl-F opens the Output panel search box instead of scrolling, using the listed VSCode and Windows versions.
