            Bug ID: 137218
           Summary: UI: When pressing Ctrl+F and typing, previous search
                    term should be replaced
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.2 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz at technion.ac.il

When I'm working with Calc using the keyboard, I often want to find some text
in my sheet. So, I press Ctrl+F, type in a search term, and press Enter to find
it

... but that doesn't work!

You see, if you've already searched for something, pressing Ctrl+F moves focus
to the search bar, and places the cursor after the previous search term - so
you are _appending_ to it. That does not make sense - it is very rarely what
the user wants to do.

Instead, it should be the case that Ctrl+F, then typing, replaces the search
term. The easiest way to achieve this is having Ctrl+F select the previous
search term.

This is not a new issue, I believe - it probably goes way back. Still, my build
