Its not that I don't want to use minifind, it is that it seems odd to allow both like this.
Can't get focus back to mini find:Ctrl+F
Typesomething.
Click in the text editor.
Edit, or whatever.
Ctrl+F
Nothing happens - focus should move to the mini-find window.
Ctrl+F Ctrl+F -- still nothing.
Only keyboard thing to do is <esc> which closes mini-find, then Ctrl+F will open it again.
Is there a keyboard way to leave mini-find open and return focus to the edit window?
