Please don't override Ctrl-F

When I press Ctrl-F I want to use the browser's search to search in page (i.e. in the email I have open) and not search through all my emails. At least allow me to disable the override please.

You can press

Command + F

a second time to go in normal page search mode.

Philippe Lehoux: This only works if the Missive shortcuts have been enabled. Not the Gmail flavor.

At the moment, an alternative in Chrome or Firefox is to use Ctrl+G instead of Ctrl+F. (Tested as Cmd+G on Mac.)

I would suggest Missive change this to Basecamp's ( command/ctrl + / ) or Notion's (command/ctrl + k) shortcut - something that makes sense - and communicate it by adding the hotkey on the placeholder attribute of the Search input :) - something like "Search (Ctrl/Cmd[apple logo] + K)"
