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
