Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I want to enable the Ctrl+F find popup without enabling all other accelerator keys. Currently, it seems like I have to set AreBrowserAcceleratorKeysEnabled to get Ctrl+F to work.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

Don't want other keys to get handled.

Ideally, we could intercept those keys and handle them to get, for example Ctrl+R to not refresh the page, but sometimes our webapp might want to handle the event and setting e.Handled = true prevents the page from getting the event.

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

Suggested implementation

Similar to how we have a IsZoomControlEnabled to get Ctrl + +/- to work, I'd like a similar setting to get Ctrl+F to work without enabling everything else.

What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?

will have to implement the Find popup myself instead which is costly. by sometime EOY
