Feature Request

Description
Add Cmd+F (macOS) / Ctrl+F (Linux/Windows) search functionality to the agent terminal pane. Currently pressing Cmd+F while the agent panel is focused does nothing.

Expected Behavior

  • Pressing Cmd+F while the agent terminal is focused opens a search bar
  • Supports text search through the terminal scrollback buffer
  • Highlights matches and allows navigating between them

Why This Matters

Agent output can be very long — searching for specific errors, file paths, or output sections is a basic need when reviewing what an agent has done.

Technical Notes

xterm.js supports search via the @xterm/addon-search addon — needs to be enabled for the agent terminal instance.
