This came up during the Positron Alpha feedback session, too.
Also came up in beta feedback: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron-beta/discussions/77
Bring this back up as it would be so helpful.
Is there a way to send code to a terminal instead of the console? The terminal search behavior is great. That would at least give me a work around.
Unfortunately, we don't currently have a user-facing way to send R code to the terminal other than generic VS Code tasks. We do have these extension tasks which you could use as an example or in theory could be extended to be more flexible. However, I think we are likely to prioritize console history search sooner than a user-facing task for arbitrary R code.
I'd really love to be able to hit
CMD + F
while in the Console to pull up a search bar that I can type text in. I'd expect that that text will search the entire Console output history and navigate the Console pane to those search hits. Basically like we can in the Output panehttps://github.com/posit-dev/positron/assets/19150088/0bbf4528-da0f-4fa7-8e4d-0e6abe03709a
