Key shortcut for repeated Find?

In making a long series of minor edits to a book, I ran into a UI issue that's bugged me before.

Absolutely every other text-mangling tool I've ever used assigns Ctrl-F to "Find." So does ID. But where every other tool uses Ctrl-F to open the Find or Search pane on first call, then re-enter it (to the search term entry field), ID uses Ctrl-F to toggle Find/Change on and off the screen.

That is, every time I hit Ctrl-F in Word or Notepad++ or even most browsers, my next step is to start typing the search term, because the search window has been opened, or left open, and the cursor put in the search field.

In ID, if Find/Change is open... hitting Ctrl-F closes it. Which means that, digital memory flying ahead of me, I start to type the search term into the document itself. Annoying, and embarrassing if you don't catch that broken fragment before the author, client or published edition does.

Besides this confusion, it is inefficient [removed by moderator] to have to stop and click the search term box every single time.

I searched a few help topics without finding an answer. Am I missing an option, or another keyboard shortcut, or something? If not, is there a feature fix request in for this, and (while we're here) how would you prefer Find/Find Next Thing to work? Maybe Shift-F to toggle the Find/Change window, and (as seems to be widely standard) Ctrl-F to open the window if necessary but then return the cursor to the open search term field instead of toggling the window closed?
