isearch (C-s) followed by movement key (C-n, C-p, etc.) doesn't work

[vvuk]

In emacs, starting an isearch via C-s, typing a few things, and then hitting a movement key such as C-f or C-n causes isearch to end and for the point to move based on wherever it was during the isearch operation. This isn't the behaviour of vs-code's search; the regular keybindings aren't available while in isearch (hitting C-n opens a new tab, for example), and the search window is "sticky"; hitting C-s again even after manually clicking to a window searches again for whatever one was searching for last.

I make use of those keybindings which make the search behave a you describe, more or less like emacs does:

	{
		"key": "enter",
		"command": "closeFindWidget",
		"when": "editorFocus && findWidgetVisible"
	},
	{
		"key": "up",
		"command": "closeFindWidget",
		"when": "editorFocus && findWidgetVisible"
	},
	{
		"key": "down",
		"command": "closeFindWidget",
		"when": "editorFocus && findWidgetVisible"
	},
	{
		"key": "ctrl+p",
		"command": "closeFindWidget",
		"when": "editorFocus && findWidgetVisible"
	},
	{
		"key": "ctrl+n",
		"command": "closeFindWidget",
		"when": "editorFocus && findWidgetVisible"
	},

Add to your keybindings file the additional ones you want to force the findWidget to close
