F3 should run Find (Ctrl+F) with the previous Find parameters
In Logos books, F3 should run Find (Ctrl+F) with the previous Find parameters.
Example : I am studying the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5.22-23). I am in a panel with a commentary that deals with the passage and has information on "peace". I press Ctrl+F to find "peace" in that book.
Then I press left/right arrow OR use the "change book" dropdown to navigate to a related book.
In this new book I press Ctrl-F to repeat my Find operation. BUT I have to retype "peace".
If F3 were functional in Logos - like it is in browsers and other apps - I would not have to repeatedly type "peace" in the Find of each book, thus saving a bunch of repetitious keystrokes and saving a bunch of time. (I know I can copy "peace" and paste it into each book's Find. But that is still more hassle than an workable F3.)
In a browser with 10 tabs open - each with a sermon or blog post or etc about the Fruit of the Spirit - I could navigate thru the tabs and press F3 in each tab. The browser's search would appear, populated with the previous search terms. Big time saver and frustration preventer.
It would also be useful if pressing Ctrl-Shift-F to run an inline search were to populate with the previous search terms as default. I could either press Enter to use that default or start typing to overwrite the default.
I am thinking about posting this suggestion to the forum's Feedback section. Any feedback here first?

F3 is in use to navigate to the next Find hit. I suspect those who use it would be a bit upset.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

That is logical. However, the functionality I am suggest (perhaps not very articulately) would not interfere with the current behavior. I would just like to see it expanded without messing up the current behavior.
Example : I'm in BKC and invoke Find, searching for "temple". I navigate to another book and press F3 and it would search for "temple" - if Find was not already open and active in the 2nd book. This would be similar behavior to a browser.

This is true. Adding this functionality if done properly would not interfere with the current functionality and would work in the same way as it currently works in my Google Chrome browser.
