I understand that Flux is configurable, but the default configuration should be more like standard apps. For example, Ctrl+F is for find in Word, Notepad, Eclipse, Firefox, ..., but Flux uses F5.
I think it would be good to use the most common hotkeys by default. (So, for instance, F5 should refresh content.)
I focused on find here, because I'm not sure all examples should fit in one report or fix, but maybe it would be best to discuss a full list at once. Not sure.

That's largely due to how I designed Find. If the FindBar is not open, Ctrl+F and F5 should actually do the same thing. After that Ctrl+F does a FindNext. I recall a lengthy discussion over hotkeys when I wrote that. The Find model still isn't quite right, so I'm open to suggestions.

My personal experience is that Ctrl+F brings up the Find dialog / bar, and F3 does FindNext. And often Shift+F3 does FindPrevious.
