--- Comment #2 from Jakob Petsovits <j.acco...@petsovits.com> --- Ctrl+F is indeed the standard searching shortcut. However, there is a difference between searching in a document or "active view", and navigating to a different location. If I use Ctrl+F in a web browser, I get the inline search field that searches the current web page, rather than DuckDuckGo search results. If I use Ctrl+F in Dolphin, it looks for files in the current directory, rather than taking me to the location field. If I use Ctrl+L in a web browser, it takes me to the location field which is conveniently also a search field for my default search engine. Ctrl+K to the dedicated search field for people who have both as distinct fields. If I use Ctrl+L in Dolphin, it takes me to the location bar to allow navigating outside the current directory by typing a path. The search field in System Settings is sort of two in one. It searches both KCM names and KCM contents. If I want to find a particular setting, I'll think Ctrl+F, although my default assumption would be that this only works within the current page because that's what Ctrl+F is commonly used for. If I want to find a particular page, I'll think Ctrl+L or Ctrl+K. The search bar in System Settings is its location bar, allowing to navigate to a particular page. This is why Ctrl+F is not intuitive for me. Although perhaps the solution would be to simply set Ctrl+L and perhaps also Ctrl+K in addition to the default Ctrl+F shortcut. Then people who associate Ctrl+F with the search bar will still be happy, and people who associate Ctrl+L or Ctrl+K with the "location bar" will also be happy. I guess I can open a different bug for that though, so, not reopening. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
