LibreOffice 5.3 Released With A Plethora Of Improvements

Reading this Chromium and pressing Ctrl-H opens History. Which seems to be a logical choice.

Lolwut? Chromium is a web browser, not an editor. Apples to oranges.

Every program in existence uses the Ctrl + H combination for search and replace. There's no need to find a correct button unless you're a complete computer noob. Ctrl + F will always be reserved for searching, not replacing.

Microsoft likes to locale the keyboard shortcuts, so in portuguese, CTRL+F (control find) becomes CTRL+L (Control localizar) :/

I just tested ESC /foobar RET as well as ESC :s/foo/bar/g RET and it doesn't work as I'm used to so clearly it's broken. Even C-s fails so it's obvious this "office suite" has zero appeal to anyone.

More constructively, the Find toolbar is not too crowded so you could try writing a feature request for a checkbox for search-in-current-selection or maybe guidance on writing an extension macro seeing how the toolbar is customize-able so it shouldn't be too difficult.

That would be the way to go, but no, he cries on yet-another-forum.
As I don't care to hit CTRL+H for advanced searching, I won't file a feature request for it.

Easier to remember for you, but CTRL + R implies Refresh to me, like in web browsers for example.

Isn't refresh generally always F5. CTRL + R seems redundent to me.

Refresh is almost always both F5 *and* CTRL + R (and CTRL + Shift + R if you want to reload w/o using the cache).
