Ctrl-F for find is standard on Windows (used in Mozilla, Notepad, etc.)
However, some apps (Word, Regedit) don't let you do it in one keystroke;
for them, ctrl-F means find-next.

For apps where ctrl-F means find, there is no standard binding for
find-next.  Mozilla uses ctrl-G, Notepad uses F3.

*No* Windows app has a binding for find-prev.

I suggest ctrl-F find, ctrl-G find-next, Alt-G find-prev, which is as
close to the Mac bindings as you're going to achieve on a PC.
(Ctrl-Shift-x, where x is a letter, may not be distinguishable from
Ctrl-x on a PC, especially if the user is careless about the Caps Lock
setting as most people are.)
