This is not a replacement for a form that contains clear and 
understandable instructions on how to use it correctly.

I am an experienced programmer and the IDE is my daily tool. But I would 
never have thought that 'CTRL+ENTER' opens the tab with the search 
results. That's a very good idea,  but it needs to be told to the user.

When I open the IDE and then a project and then hit 'Ctrl-F' the search 
form shows up and it's TextBox where I can enter the search string 
(let's call it 'search field') is empty.

As soon as I click on the combobox where I can alter the search type the 
search field contains a grey text:

"Search ... CTRL+F again to change location"

But when I hit 'Ctrl-F' nothing happens.

Alles Gute
