Plan: Add Find in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F)

[sbaker]

Overview

Add workspace-wide text search as a sidebar panel, following existing panel architecture. All patterns and integration points already exist in the codebase.

Steps

1. Add hotkey definition — Add findInFiles: { key: 'f', ctrl: true, shift: true } to DEFAULT_HOTKEYS in frontend/src/modules/types/hotkeys.ts

2. Extend SidebarPanel type — Add 'find' to the SidebarPanel union in frontend/src/stores/types.ts

3. Register hotkey handler — In frontend/src/modules/editor/PrompdEditor.tsx registerMonacoHotkeys(), intercept Ctrl+Shift+F and dispatch toggle-sidebar event with detail 'find'

4. Add Activity Bar button — Add a Search icon (lucide-react) to frontend/src/modules/editor/ActivityBar.tsx following existing button pattern

5. Create FindInFilesPanel component — New file frontend/src/modules/editor/FindInFilesPanel.tsx:

   • Search input with debounced query
   • Results grouped by file with line number previews
   • Click handler opens file + jumps to line via onOpenFile() + setJumpTo()
   • Keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Enter) following CommandPalette pattern

6. Wire panel into App.tsx — Add conditional render block at ~line 4243 using existing visibility/position/pointerEvents pattern

7. Add IPC search handler — Add fs:searchInFiles IPC handler in frontend/electron/main.js that searches in the main process (avoids hundreds of individual IPC round-trips). Takes query + directory + file patterns, returns grouped results with line numbers.

8. File filtering — Search .prmd, .pdflow, .md, .json, .yaml, .ts, .tsx, .js by default. Exclude node_modules/, .git/, dist/. Respect .prompdignore if present. Configurable include/exclude globs in the search UI.

Key Files

File	Role
frontend/src/modules/types/hotkeys.ts	Hotkey definitions
frontend/src/stores/types.ts	SidebarPanel type
frontend/src/modules/editor/PrompdEditor.tsx	Hotkey registration
frontend/src/modules/editor/ActivityBar.tsx	Sidebar buttons
frontend/src/modules/App.tsx (~line 4243)	Panel rendering
frontend/electron/main.js	IPC handlers
frontend/electron/preload.js	IPC bridge

Reference Patterns

• Panel architecture: FileExplorer, GitPanel (sidebar panels)
• Search UI: RegistrySearchOverlay.tsx, CommandPalette.tsx
• File opening: onOpenFile() in App.tsx (~line 1055)

Estimate

~1 new file, ~6 files modified. Medium complexity.
