Calc's Find dialog with More Options in OOo 2.4.0 has four options that are
activatable by alt-s. While it correctly handles receiving alt-s as an input
requiring further clarification, this requires of the uninitiated user an extra
step that likely makes OOo look faulty. Thus, this is a usability issue for an
growing user base.

Instead, each option should have unique alt-character shortcuts.

I propose the following:
--- Search In, with drop-down list for Formulas, Values, and Notes: alt-n.
--- Search Direction: alt-d.
--- Search in All Sheets: Because all of its letters are assigned elsewhere, I
propose you rephrase Search in All Sheets to Search Every Sheet and assign
alt-v; in which case, conform Help concerning the dialog's options.

The Search For field appearing with Less Options or More Options should retain
its present alt-s shortcut.

This is suggested only for future OOo versions, not for retrofitting. I'm using
OOo 2.4.0 on Fedora Core 4 Linux with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop.

Thank you.
