My problem is that CTRL+F acts as a switch for search mode: it turns it on (when it is off) and off (when it is already on). While this could make sense, I find it quite counter intuitive: * I'm reading a PDF * I want to search "foo": I type CTRL+F and "foo", it works * I find the occurence of "foo" I'm interested in * I continue reading, *without leaving the search mode* * at some point, I want to search for "bar", so * I type CTRL+F and "bar"... but CTRL+F just turns off the search mode, and "bar" is ignored This is quite frustrating. As the search mode can be left with ESC, I suggest to change the behaviour of CTRL+F to setting the focus to the search box, so that CTRL+F *always* results in searching ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325650 Title: CTRL+F turns search off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1325650/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
