codemirror search simulate CTRL+F keys with javascript

Question

I'm trying to open the codemirror search dialog (normally activated by pressing CTRL+F)
by pressing a button:

I tried to use

window.find()

but it does not open the dialog, it only highlights the text in the editor...

You don't want to simulate the actual key press. Rather, simply run CodeMirror's find command using execCommand, as in http://jsfiddle.net/cb1fd72k/1/
