Description

### What would you like to happen?

In the User Defined Java Class transform (and other similar transforms, as JavaScript) a couple of typically supported shortcuts do not work:
* CTRL+Y (redo)
* CTRL+F (search)
* optionally: CTRL+S (save)

It would be very practical to have them available, as virtually every editor supports them also.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the User Defined Java Class transform and the similar JavaScript transform to find where editor shortcuts are handled. Verify how CTRL+Y and CTRL+F behave, consider the optional CTRL+S request, and confirm the supported shortcuts work consistently in the Hop GUI.
