Incremental search shortcut in visual studio code

Can I do "incremental search" / "incremental find" in Visual studio code, similar to eclipse and regular Visual studio? I think it's ctrl+j in eclipse and ctrl+i in visual code.

What it does is that it enables typing anywhere in the file and highlighting matches.

So I had the same issue, and the plugin that wardw found did not work with ctrl+g to cancel the search and return to editing. It turns out that siegebell, the original author of that plugin, posted a bug to the visual studio code people regarding this, and they eventually added the capability to cancel the window, but the plugin hasn't been updated in awhile.

I decided to fork the plugin, and update it myself to work. Link here.
