Description
Description:
There should a keyboard shortcut for search.
Control-F perhaps? The combination doesn't really matter, but there should be one.
Right now, mouse click is the only option, and search should be a very common task for most users.
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behavior:
This is a feature request, but I expect that there should be a keyboard shortcut for starting search.
Actual behavior:
No keyboard shortcut available for search.
