Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Searching backwards with a keyboard shortcut. Right now you can only search forward by clicking "Enter", but it is common to search backwards with "Shift + Enter".
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a keyboard shortcut to searchBox.tx, for example:
if (event.shiftKey && event.keyCode === enterKey) {
this.props.prev(event.currentTarget.value);
} else if (event.keyCode === enterKey) {
this.props.next(event.currentTarget.value);
}
Describe alternatives you've considered
Clicking the "find previous" button in the search bar, but that requires a lot of effort and annoying when I'm using the "Enter" shortcut and want to go backwards.
