Correct, I interpreted "keyboard only" as meaning without the dialog open. The other nice thing is that <ctrl>g works for searches initiated from the toolbar as well. In fact I have re-bound <ctrl>f to toolbar search and almost never use the find dialog. This provides a reasonable emulation of modern search as it happens in browsers and other tools. > > For "Find Next" from the Search dialog, you could just keep hitting Enter > and it will find the next matches, for "Find Previous", you could use > Shift+Enter and it will do the same but backwards (same bindings as the > toolbar find entry). > > The mnemonics, as James mentioned, are also usable and will trigger the > actual _Next and _Previous GUI buttons inside the dialog.
