Comment:

 The only thing I can think of doing here is intercept any “Cmd-F” commands
 any route them into CodeMirror. This would mean, however, that a user
 would not be able to do a find to locate a file in the file list, which
 would be unfortunate. Maybe the solution here would be to show a notice
 when doing “Cmd-F” when not focused on CodeMirror to prompt the user to
 focus on CodeMirror to do a find '''of code'''.

 CodeMirror only loads the current viewport into the DOM, so that is why
 the browser's find does not match results as it would in a `textarea`.
 This is for performance.

 Code editor tickets we're keeping in the General component.
