Description
Describe the bug
Can't use the search function /. Pressing Enter after the word to be search results in a newline wherever the cursor currently is.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Press
/ - Type the word to be searched
- Press
Enter - Newline is inserted
Expected behavior
Upon pressing Enter, the cursor should jump to the next matching word.

- VSCode version: Version: 1.78.2 / Commit: b3e4e68a0bc097f0ae7907b217c1119af9e03435

Research direction
