  width: '100%'
}}>
    <iframe src={src} title={title} frameBorder="0" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" allowFullScreen style={{
  position: 'absolute',
  top: 0,
  left: 0,
  width: '100%',

### Current File Find & Replace

Paradime allows you to quickly find text and replace it in the currently opened file. Press `⌘F` on macOS or `CTRL+F` on Windows to open the Find widget in the editor. The search results will be highlighted in the editor, overview ruler and minimap.

If there is more than one matched result in the current opened file, you can press `Enter` or `⇧Enter` to navigate to the next or previous result when the find input box is focused.
