Bug

Description

On most macOS applications (for example TextEdit or Xcode), Cmd+E sets the find clipboard to what is selected without changing the focus (in fact it doesn't even make the search bar appear).
VS Code makes the search bar appear and set the focus to it.

Having the search bar appearing is minor, but if you are used to the standard behavior, not having the editor keep the focus on the editor is pretty disturbing.
