Can the focus be automatically set to the text entry box when Ctrl-F is pressed for searching text in the current PDF? Currently it needs another specific click into the search text box before text can be entered for the search. I am using Version 3.0 (build 275.0). The same behavior can also be applicable for 'Search' (Ctrl-Shift-F). It works fine in version 2.5 however for both Find and Search (automatically focuses on text box).
Cosmetic nit-pick comment. In Edit > Preferences > Performance, there is a text mistake, 'can used in peak'. Should be 'can be used in peak' or some other form like 'at peak use'.

Hi srn123,
Thank you for your post.
The automatic focus shift and cursor relocation for Find and Search functions (CTRL + F and CTRL + F + SHIFT) will be added in the Golden release for PDF-XChange Editor.
The suggested corrections have been corrected.
Thanks.
