I was not aware of the other options for FindNext. Ctri+G is a
reasonable one (but kinda stretchy...), F3 is more comfortable when
you have your right hand on your mouse.
The point is that Ctrl+F should not be used as a toggle switch (in my
opinion).

I am also dropping the "focus & next" option (key combination which
does both) because the user is not always easily aware of the Find box
focus status.
