Description

Bug Description:

The neovim vscode plugin asvetliakov.vscode-neovim opens a textfield at the top of the editor (at the same location as the normal command field). However, in theia after entering the command/text the "enter" key is ignored. I didn't find another key that would work as workaround. In vscode it works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install asvetliakov.vscode-neovim vscode extension
  2. In settings, set the path to the nvim executable
  3. Restart theia
  4. Open a file and type a command e.g. /some_search_string
  5. Try to execute the command (enter doesn't work)
  • Operating System: Linux (Firefox, Chromium)
  • Theia Version: v1.2.0 via Gitpod

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate keyboard event handling in the vscode neovim integration within Theia. Check if the Enter key event is intercepted or not properly forwarded to the neovim command line.
