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 regular updates Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20120216 Firefox/11.0 SeaMonkey/2.8
reproduced in 3.6.4 on RFR 17 64 bit Or at least I can not find needed shortcut

Isn't it about flipping time LO adds Find Prev and Find Next as commands that can be assigned to a key? This ***bug*** has been open for more than four years, and is still present in 5.2.0. And phuleeze don't tell me that F3 is doing it, as that's a flipping load of bollocks, F3 only works if the cursor is in the Find Bar.
repro 26.8 Note that if you pull up the find and replace dialog (Ctrl-H), it has find previous and find next keyboard shortcuts. So there is an easy workaround for at least some use cases.
Bug 70001 indicates that the Ctrl-F find toolbar has some (secret) hard-coded keyboard shortcuts. F3 and Ctrl-G for Find Next, while Shift-F3 and Shift-Ctrl-G do Find Previous.
Perhaps this is closer to working that I expected. I have a patch that hacks the shortcut sequence onto the menu label. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/207972 But I noticed that if I do it 'the right way' (instead of as a hack) the button also gets automatically labelled with the keyboard shortcut. It even shows up in the 'customize' dialog (although the user cannot add it themselves). [ officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu ] However, not surprisingly, pressing the assigned keyboard shortcut doesn't actually work to run .uno:UpSearch or .uno:DownSearch.
