Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/8157

What happened?

I was trying to edit a notes field on a transaction in the ledger view.
I clicked into the field and tried to Ctrl+F (standard macOS keyboard shortcut) to move forward to the character I wanted delete.
Instead focus jumped to the search bar (for which Cmd+F works fine)

This comes and goes often as some new shortcut is added - I really think it would best to respect macOS nav keys that are relied on across the OS. Maybe a keymap editor if users want to change that?

How can we reproduce the issue?

See above - this is pretty universal across any text input

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Mac OSX

Respectfully this is a bug, not a feature - this breaks standard operating system behavior that users rely on.

Cmd+F is the standard macOS search hotkey. Ctrl+F is a standard navigation hotkey.
