--- Comment #2 from Orwel <[email protected]> ---
Thank you for the explanation, and I apologise for the confusion. I changed the
shortcut years ago because it's more convenient for my work to use a single
search and replace solution. For example, you lose an extra line of the
document with the classic Find bar, and I don't have to remember another
shortcut for LO because the FaR window can also be used for simple finds.

I leave the FaR window open because I often work with the Find and Replace
functions, so it is more convenient for me to keep it open. However, if I
forget that it is open while I am working (e.g. if it is on a second monitor
outside my field of vision), pressing the shortcut closes the window and I
continue typing into the document instead of the FaR window.

Yes, it may be a matter of individual habit, but I see no particular reason why
the CTRL+H shortcut should also close the window. For a one-time activity in
FaR window, you usually work with the mouse in the given window, so you can
close it by clicking the 'X' or if working with keyboard, by pressing 'ESC'. If
I deliberately leave the window open and continue to edit the text, it is
probably clear, that I want it to stay open. Using the shortcut after a while
should bring me back in the FaR window, not close it.
Of course, the existence of the Find bar (which I do not use) probably makes my
suggestion less important, so I will leave it up to the community to decide how
to handle it.
