Make 'Delete' Key Work On Find (Ctrl+F)

[EhudKirsh]

Hey,
When I use the 'Delete' key, I expect the caret to delete to its right, like 'Backspace' makes the caret delete to its left. When using the search/find function in VSCode, pressing the 'Delete' key deletes the code I have in the background! In contrast, the 'Backspace' key works fine.

I don't know if I'm suggesting a feature or fixing this 'bug', but I'd like to ask what my title says: Make 'Delete' Key Work On Find (Ctrl+F)

I didn't reproduce this issue with Find Widget, it's possible though you have an extension overriding this keybinding (Delete) which breaks it. I'll suggest to disable all extensions code --disable-extensions to see if you can reproduce.

I just checked, and the problem persists even with all extensions disabled. It is definitely a problem with VS Code itself.

@EhudKirsh thanks for the quick reply, can you please run command "Toggle Keybinding Troubleshooting" from command palette and then reproduce the issue and share the log from output panel with us? The log will tell us how it's being handled.
