  > 2. For the keyboard shortcut let's use Alt instead of Shift. It is an alternate search, after all.
  
  I found `Ctrl+Shift+F` to be much more popular for "search", "advanced search", "search in all ...", "find in ...", "advanced find", etc.:
  https://defkey.com/what-means/ctrl-shift-f (40 hits) vs
  https://defkey.com/what-means/ctrl-alt-f (7 hits)
  
  And `Ctrl+Shift+F` seems to be widely used by virtually //all// of the most professional applications:
  Mozilla Thunderbird, Opera, Sublime, Android Studio, Atom, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio, NetBeans, Notepad++, Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code, Outlook
  
  That's why I have used this shortcut.
  
  My personal opinion is that it also matches `Shift+F4` shortcut for "Open Terminal" better (see screenshot).
  Both of which open an //external// tool, which I think goes well with the `Shift` modifier.
