Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

As a user I want to be able to search a room quickly…

#### Why would you like to do it?

…to find specific messages.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Currently the search shortcut is not enabled by default. Ctrl+F doesn't work.
After a quick look into the shortcuts I found Ctrl+F (of course I didn't read the note :wink: ).
Back to the room I tried Ctrl+F again without success and thought of it being a bug.

I would suggest adding the toggle directly to the key map:
