Currently ? is help page. I am extremely used to ? in vim env, it is very frustrating having a popup randomly opening up. Could we have a cmd enterFindModeBackward for those seeking to bring back ? normal behaviour please

    As a partial workaround you could just use:

    map ? enterFindMode

    That will get rid of the popup and get you into search mode, just like / does. To search in backward direction, you can then just use N instead of n.

    In the long run, it would be cool to see this implemented as a feature though.
