Escape key shortcuts, esp in Find pane, make active editor lose focus #1475
Description
I think that #638 may be related.
I have all of the default Escape and Shift+Escape keyboard shortcuts mapped, esp. for
editor.action.webvieweditor.hideFind
closeFindWidget
but when I hit the Escape key to exit the Find pane in an editor, focus is lost from the entire editor. I expect the Find pane to disappear. I have to hit Ctrl+1 or use the mouse to regain focus on the editor, as mentioned in that other issue above.
I am using the latest version of code-server, running from a Docker container from Docker Desktop for Windows and using Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 to view, but this has been present in many versions in the past. I just waited until now to mention :)

Have you tried installing the Chrome web app? I think it should resolve you keybind conflicts.

Closing because of inactivity. Installing the Chrome app should fix all these problems 🎊

This was resolved in version 3.1.1 with no change on my part, no Chrome app.

I’m hitting the same issue on 3.3.1
Could you clarify what you mean by Chrome app? Do you mean there’s chrome extension somewhere?
This is especially frustrating since I use vim mode

@fiibbb Once you've entered the editor, click the "plus" icon present int he URL toolbar area. This will install a Chrome PWA.

We should add a FAQ entry for that.

I do not have such an icon.
For those who do not see it either, it is shown in this Google Chrome support page.
I am using docker image ece4f1a1e6ae from 4 weeks ago, what info can I provide to figure why is this?

I can further elaborate on this myself: switching from plain http to https (using a self-signed certificate) while accessing the docker image from a different host did the trick.
I run the docker code-server image on host A, I publish
0.0.0.0:2000:8080(for some reason I cannot bind the server to 443 like in the guide) then I access https://A:2000/ from host B.Escape key is working as expected (exiting multi-line cursor, for instance) and
C-walways close the editor tab, not the browser page.As it is I have no problem with keys now.

This still seems to be an issue on chrome OS even when installing the chrome app 😞
anddam commentedon Nov 29, 2020
Is this in full-screen and, if so, how did you enter full-screen mode?

@anddam THANKS!!

I got quite frustrated a few months ago, when suddenly Esc key was being catched by the browser again exiting full-screen, this was a change happening outside my config.
It turns out that entering in full-screen via the Chrome menu
⋮>[ ]provides a "full-screen app" behavior with Esc key handled inside the app, whereas using F11 to enter full-screen makes Esc key being handled by the browser.Your going through the vscode command is a third way, I'll check it out of curiosity to see which of the two behavior it gives me (I am not running this on Chrome OS).

FYI, for anyone using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb?hl=en, you would need to disable Vimium on your code-server page.
