Perhaps the following extension is able to solve your problem (but I'm not sure)?

AltSearch – shortcut creation instruction

Latest release installed successfully (v.1.4.2, released Mar 24, 2017). Nevertheless invoking keys Ctrl + H calls still the built-in Find & replace tool instead of the installed one.

The current instruction do not apply to Libreoffice:
