When I open a message saved in Drafts and I need to Ctrl+F (find) a word, I cannot. I really need this function; it was there before, please bring it back!

Ctrl+F function works on messages in other folders, but I really need it with messages in Draft folder. I have a large Draft message consisting of grammatical issues and I need to visit it often when I do my translation work. I've been able to use Ctrl+F until a few days ago, and now it's gone. Please bring it back!

Thank you

Chosen solution

Try the keyconfig extension.

I think Find>Find In This Message can be simply changed from Ctrl+T to Ctrl+F.

Hmm, still works here.

Can you try in Safe Mode, in case an add-on is breaking it?

Hey Zenos, what I've found this morning is when I press Ctrl+T, this function works in my Drafts as Ctrl+F in other folders. Maybe because Croatian word for Find is Trazi (begins with a T)? I'd really like to have this switched back to Ctrl+F, as is default everywhere else! Thanks.
