find is broken on GitHub file views

[GordianDziwis]

I have bind / to find with:

bind / fillcmdline find

But this does not work on file view pages on GitHub.

1. Navigate to a file
2. Place the cursor somewhere outside the file
3. Press the keys /foo, press Return
4. Gives the error: # controller in excmd: IndexSizeError: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount

2b. Place the cursor somewhere INSIDE the file
3b. Press /
4b. No search, but cursor goes to the end of the file

How to override this, so that / always calls find and works?

Not a Tridactyl fix, but try https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-user-account-settings/managing-accessibility-settings#managing-keyboard-shortcuts

Edit: sorry, that won't fix the :find command, but you could try :unbindurl github\.com / and then use the built-in Firefox find instead

Thanks, but not really an option, / and n are muscle memory and I use it everywhere.
I found a workaround, by browsing the repos locally with git-dev.

I integrated it with tridactyl:

bind <Space>gv browse_repo
command browse_repo composite get_current_url | js -p tri.excmds.exclaim("alacritty -e zsh -c \"vi -c \'GitDevOpen " + JS_ARG + "\'\"")

I did not find an GitHub issue to link to, just a discussion: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/5760
