why is it that the "Find and Replace" hot key was changed from "clrt + F" to
"clrt + alt + F". every program that I have ever used has ctrl + F as find.
ctrl + F does not seem to do any thing right now. so why did this change.
this was a bad decision, for users are used to the old hot key. why change
it on them.

I have cntl+F for find only and cntl+alt+F for find/replace on 3.4.3
using Ubuntu/Pinguy 11.04. I prefer having cntl+F and alt+F because both
only need two fingers. 

CTRL+F should open the search toolbar - if not, then the configuration
is messed up, or (maybe) the search bar has been switched off via the
toolbar menu entry in View. Currently, the search bar is a toolbar
(which is a bit weird, but was chosen by the devs because of easier
implementation).

I should be clearer, CTRL+F opened the search toolbar - at the bottom of
the screen. Some may miss it because of its location does not get one's
attention - initially I did not notice it. 


For more information about the issue (and chances to contribute to make
the search experience better), see:

Greetings from the conference (or more detailed: shortly before
breakfast) :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
