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.
