[Framers] Search for text + tag?

Although FM does not have the feature of searching for a specific phrase 
that has a specific paragraph/character tag, one thing to make the 
search a little easier is to use the ALT key when searching.

In recent versions of FM, after clicking Find, the focus stays on the 
Find/Change pod, so that you can keep pressing Enter to search for the 
next item, or use the ALT keys repeatedly to search or replace.

What I'm suggesting is to type the search phrase, then hold down the ALT 
key with your left hand, and place two fingers (of your right hand) over 
the C and F keys. Press the F key to find the next instance of the 
phrase and press C to make the change when the phrase has the correct 
paragraph tag.

I think this much easier than using the mouse; less strain, and you 
don't have to look at the Find/Change pod as you do this.

This only works in recent versions that do not change the focus back to 
the cod after the search.

Hope this helps.
