It means you don't have debug features enabled because Ctrl+F3 is the=20
calling stack ;-)
Here is a map of assigned function keys:

          F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12
Alone      X  X  X  X  X  X  X  X  X   X
Shift         X  X        X        X   X
Ctrl       X  X  X  X  X  X  X  X  X   X
Alt        X  X  X  X  X     X  X      X

I want to leave F11 and F12 for user usage.
And I don't like complex combinations like "Shift+Ctrl+F3" because:
1) Not all terminals can handle it (in fact UNIX consoles can't)
2) They should be available for things like the Window Manager (which=20
usually eats simple combinations instead of complex ones, which IMHO is=20
quite silly).
I'm not sure if they really need a shortcut ... Shift+F8 (forward) and=20
Shift+F7 (backward) are good candidates because Alt+F8 is "next message" =

and Alt+F7 previous.

I'm uploading to CVS a version that:

1) Uses the "case sensitive" setting of the current language.
2) Uses something that I could describe as "the last manually selected=20
text" for the search instead of "the currently selected text". Is=20
important to understand that this is what the *user* selected. It means=20
that if you select a text, then go inside the selection change the text=20
this new text won't be part of the search.

I personally find faster to just use ^Q-F because then I don't need to=20
select anything, the editor will take the word under cursor, but ...
Ok, please test the current implementation. I'm sure it have at least a=20
couple of holes ;-)
