Do you mean the new commands for forward and reverse search? Again, matching Word here can be good. The shortcuts (Ctrl+Pg up and Ctrl+Pg down) are already assigned in LibreOffice. But, in MS Word they are contextually usable for searching. Please see: How to make Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-Pg down work when doing find in Word? https://superuser.com/a/1041945 In other context, they do this in Word: Move the cursor to the top of the next page. Ctrl+Page down Move the cursor to the top of the previous page. Ctrl+Page up https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/word/keyboard-shortcuts-in-word In LibreOffice, the use of these shortcuts is related but different, they go to the top (header) and bottom (footer) of the current page. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/04/01020000.html We can make them also usable for search, in a similar way. But, we may start from implementing the commands, and then think about handling the shortcuts later. Assigning the shortcuts is tricky, as it is hard to change them later. Also, we should have in mind that there are differences in macOS, for example. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
