Searching: better navigation with short cuts

Searching: better navigation with short cuts (working on Mac)

• alt-cmd-F: enter search pattern => result in list of matching notes
• it should be possible not navigate directly in the list of matching notes with up/down arrow
  => at the moment you have to select first on of the note, then you can navigate with up/down arrow keys
• To find the search pattern in a note, you have to click 'enter' to jump into note and then cmd-F, enter
• and then cmd-G / shift-cmd-G to jump around the pattern in the note
• Or better solution:
  • enter search pattern
  • navigate with the cmd-arrow keys directly. In that case cmd- up/down in the notes list
  • with enter or cmd-right key jump into the note
  • in the note: with cmd-up/down key: jump to the next/previous matching pattern (don't need to click cmd-F, cmd-G)

I don't see a massive difference between this and the current system - except for your last bullet point which I think would be confusing. The work flow (in Windows so you will need to convert to Mac where appropriate) is

• enter search pattern
• Press alt+ctrl+\ to shift the focus onto the notes list
• navigate with the arrow keys directly up/down in the notes list
• press enter to  jump into the note
