[Framers] Keyboard shortcut to jump to next footnote text flow?

Sadly, the entire point of the exercise is to avoid having to reach for the mouse. I'm very keyboard-centric in my work, especially repetitive tasks. While searching for type "Footnote" does indeed highlight the next footnote (both in-text reference and text of the footnote itself), when you press Shift-F7 to release focus from the search dialogue, your focus is back in the body text, not in the footnote itself, which unfortunately doesn't help.

I hate that software has become so "clicky" as opposed to being able to fully navigate via keyboard.

I don't believe so, no, but if you're already at the bottom of the page, you can just click in it. However, I believe you can search for Footnotes without specifying a paragraph style since "Footnote" is one of the options in the Find drop-down. I'm pretty certain it's not looking for the paragraph style but for the special insert of footnotes, whether text or table.
