Keyboard shortcut to move into next footnote text flow?

My apologies if I’m using incorrect terminology.

When I start a chapter via importing from Word, there’s a fair amount of cleanup work I have to do re: footnotes. If my cursor is in a footnote  and I want to jump to the next footnote (not to the footnote’s position in the main text, but into the footnote text flow), is there a keyboard shortcut for doing so?

I have been able to search for the next footnote paragraph tag, and while that works, (1) it’s multiple keystrokes, and more importantly (2) if the source document was tagged inconsistently, the search will fail, jumping to a subsequent footnote, meaning I still have to manually go through and fix the outliers.

I can fix #1 via AutoHotKey. #2 is a sticky problem.

If there is a shortcut, I’m unaware of it, and if there is a better object to search for than the paragraph tag, I’m also ignorant of that.

I know that many people say to avoid importing from Word, but when you have chapters that have 200-400 footnotes and as many index markers, trust me, you do NOT want to have to manually redo all of those…

Thanks in advance,

-Dan
