Sublime text. Keep find in files panel open after running search and/or replace operation

Question

I am using Find in files functionality of sublime text regularly (default key binding Ctrl+Shift+F)

Pannel can be hidden by hitting Esc

Whenever I hit Find the pannel itself disappears after operation is performed. It can be called again by hitting Ctrl+Shift+F

I wonder if this behavior can be changed so that panel is permanently visible and does not disappear during search operation unless explicitely closed by hitting Esc.

I was looking for soemthing similar and I found these settings:

// This determines whether the find panel is closed when the "Find All"
// or "Replace All" buttons are pressed. Note this does not change the
// keybinding behavior.
"close_find_after_find_all": true,
"close_find_after_replace_all": true,

Go to Sublime Text -> Settings (On a mac) and type this in the right hand side frame:

{
// This determines whether the find panel is closed when the "Find All"
   // or "Replace All" buttons are pressed. Note this does not change the
   // keybinding behavior.
   "close_find_after_find_all": false,
   "close_find_after_replace_all": false
}

I changed the true to false and saved the settings. Et Voilà!
