**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

Search in PR contents

Currently searching on PR changes tab (Ctrl+F5) brings the search PRs menu. In the browser I would commonly use page search to quickly see the symbol references in the changes.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the GitHub app on Windows 10.0.26200 using version 1.0.6: open a pull request's changes tab and press Ctrl+F5. Investigate how the app currently handles that shortcut, then define completion as searching within the visible PR changes so symbol references can be found like browser page search.
