Find option doesn't work in the reading mode with encrypted notes #103

I open the encrypted note. I enter the password for decryption. I can navigate through the note and edit it. Search (Ctrl+F) doesn't work. There is no such line in the menu.

The .encrypted note editor is separate and independent from Obsidian's markdown editor, which makes it difficult to have a like-for-like editing experience between .encrypted and .md files. Until there's a way to hook into the save-to/read-from disk api without corrupting notes, editing .encrypted notes will be very limited.

Having said that, v2.3.0 adds the ability to quickly decrypt or encrypt an existing note (bind it to a hotkey). So, the workflow could be to temporally decrypt the note to disk, edit it with all the nice Obsidian features, then re-encrypt it when done.
