             Bug #: 47122
           Summary: : no Find Previous keyboard shortcut
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: info at skierpage.com


Problem description: 
LibreOffice has a Repeat Find keyboard shortcut. It doesn't have a Find
Previous shortcut.  And "Repeat Find" is non-standard and inconsistent even
within LO; note the tooltips for the buttons in the Find toolbar are "Find
Next" and "Find Previous".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Press Ctrl+F in LO Calc or Writer to bring up Find toolbar.
2. Note the up arrow icon with a Find Previous tooltip.
3. Choose Tools > Customize... > Keyboard.
4. Search for a Find Previous function to assign a keyboard shortcut.

Current behavior:
I couldn't find one. There is the function Edit > Repeat Find assigned to
Ctrl+Shift+F, but that has no direction.  It implicitly repeats the search in
the last direction chosen, so you can't switch direction from the keyboard.

Expected behavior:
I think it would be better if LO worked more like other applications and had
Find Next / Find Previous commands matching the toolbar. (Maybe having separate
commands would permit LO to have Find Next / Find Previous items in its Edit
menu, like KDE programs and Firefox; I guess that's another bug...)

Also see bug 47119 and bug 47120 I filed about other non-standard Repeat Find
details.

Platform (if different from the browser): Kubuntu 12.04 alpha 2 amd64 with
