I’m not sure when this changed but it used to be that ctrl+f once would bring up Discourse’s Find feature and pressing it a second time would bring up the browser’s native Find feature. I thought this was quite useful, but now the behaviour has changed and the second press closes Discourse’s Find and does nothing else. ---

No, this is a legitimate bug. On long topics, pressing CTRL + F will open the Discourse Search, press it again and it should open the native browser search.

Yeah, that’s a regression. I think I know what the problem is… will fix it tonight. ---

I bisected to this commit. [Migrate search drop down to `menu-panel` component. · discourse/discourse@d4b987f · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d4b987ff) We should probably add an acceptance tests too 😊 ---

I think this should fix it: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3844](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3844) > [@tgxworld](#): > > We should probably add an acceptance tests too 😊 I have no idea how to do this. Is it possible to check if the browser handled the event? You can add it if you want. 😉 Would be great to see how this can be done. ---

For anybody being bugged by the Ctrl+f key combination not working on some other websites which have taken it over… I have found myself getting used to pressing Alt+d, Ctrl+f. Alt+d puts you in the address bar, from there the search shortcut works. (tested in Chrome). ---
