#71 Feature request: Kb-shortcuts for search
1) For Incremental-Search: Pressing Enter finds the next. Pressing shift-Enter finds the previous (next going-backwards).
2) I really like 'F3' for Search-again, and shift-F3 for "Search-again backwards". I guess in the current structure, this would require a new menu-item below "Edit => Search again".
In incremental search, one can use the up and down arrows, just like in browsers. Added a mouseover hint to the button that make it clear.
You can of course select 'backwards' as the direction and then use Search Again, but having an extra menu item would me much more handy. Will add that.
Search Again will now force forward search again, while "Search Again Backwards" will force backward search.
In other words, the remember fix in #67 has been undone.
Yeah, I think that would be easy to get used-to; I look forward to that.
Changed up/down arrow to Enter/Shift+Enter for Incremental Search.
Feature request: alt-shortcuts for the Find dialog: Forward & Backward; 'From Cursor' and 'Entire Scope'. (The other two options-sections already have alt-shortcuts).

I was able to test-out the new shift-F3 (default) "Search Again Backwards", and: combined with the F3 "Search Again", that is really slick :)
Maybe the modified shortcuts for the Incremental Search are a good idea to be consistent, too; I'll need to see that.
The Incremental Search is just subtley different from a-simple-search / Search Again; I'm sure many people will use one or both.
Related "feature request": an alt-shortcut for the Replace tab's "Replace with". ("Text to find" already has an alt-shortcut).
