Except Evolution, which forces you to use "Ctrl-S" to 'Find (Search) in
page', because they have already bound Ctrl-F to 'Forward message'.
This is a MAJOR usability bug; "We didn't feel like doing it the normal
way" is NEVER a "good reason" for usability purposes.
One could argue that since search in Emacs has been ^s for ages, that
those who use ^f are the ones who have broken convention for no good
reason.
That's the nice thing about standards - there are so many of them to
choose from!
