dsh-conversation-find

A VS Code-style find bar for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) conversation window: press Cmd+F / Ctrl+F to search the loaded transcript, highlight every match, and jump between them without leaving the conversation.

中文见 README.zh.md.

Features

• Find in the conversation — the bar opens over the transcript and searches visible message text, Markdown, code blocks, and expanded tool details. The composer, message actions, and toolbar labels are excluded.
• Highlight and navigate — all matches are highlighted with the CSS Custom Highlight API and the current match uses a stronger colour. Enter / Shift+Enter, the arrow buttons, or F3 / Shift+F3 move through matches and wrap at the ends.
• Case / whole word / regex — Aa, ab, and .* switch matching modes, with a live match count and an invalid-regex state.
• Selection prefill — a short single-line selection in the conversation becomes the initial query.
• Earlier history — when the loaded window still has earlier turns, a Partial button appears. Clicking it loads the next older page from the conversation and the results update automatically. The current match is kept by DOM anchor while older content is prepended.
• Surface-aware shortcut — Cmd/Ctrl+F in the composer, sidebars, or other panels is left to the browser; only the conversation transcript is claimed. It coexists with the file preview's find bar because each plugin only handles its own surface.

The conversation's history is paged. Until Partial loads the remaining pages, only the currently loaded turns are searched.

Install

Built against DSH 0.2.2-rc.1.

dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:sinvacn/dsh-conversation-find

Or ask the agent in chat:

Install the dsh-conversation-find plugin: dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:sinvacn/dsh-conversation-find

For local development, install the package directory through the plugin manager. The plugin is client-only; after installation, refresh the page. No desktop restart or Host route is needed.

Use

1. Click into the conversation transcript or select text in a message.
2. Press Cmd+F on macOS or Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux.
3. Type a query. Aa, ab, and .* switch case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and regex mode.
4. Use Enter / Shift+Enter or ↑ / ↓ to step through matches. Escape closes the bar and clears the highlights.
5. If Partial is visible, click it to load an earlier page of history; matches in that page are added to the active search.

Limitations

• Only loaded, rendered conversation content is searched. Earlier history must be loaded with Partial, and collapsed tool details or hidden rows are not part of the search.
• A match that is not rendered yet cannot be scrolled to until its history page is loaded.
• The bar does not include the composer draft or other panels; browser find remains available outside the conversation.
• No replace action.
