Description
Hi,
I'm a fan of using the keyboard to move around in a notebook and in the past versions, if I did CTRL+F and wrote 'plt.scatter' then pressed Escape, the first cell with 'plt.scatter' would be selected and I could edit it without having to click on it. As of now (just updated through Anaconda), Jupyter doesn't allow this anymore and the cell I had selected before the search is still selected. It was also my way to scroll quickly to parts of a long notebook without using the mouse.
Is there something I can do to get this functionality again?
Thanks

Research direction
Reproduce the notebook UI behavior by searching for “plt.scatter” with Ctrl+F and pressing Escape. Trace the existing search and cell-selection entry points, then confirm that the matching cell is selected and editable and that search still supports navigation through a long notebook.
