Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux Ctrl+F does not run KFind. Pretty annoying bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Press Ctrl+F Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: opening KFind in the current location
Thanks for the bug report! This looks like it's due to the changes in Dolphin's find functionality. The possibility to run KFind was replaced with an internal search there. I agree that Konqueror (which uses Dolphin's code for file management) should have a way to find files. @Peter: Probably the best way to bring Ctrl+F back to Konqueror would be to add the "run KFind" action in the DolphinPart, right?
@Frank: Yes, adding this to the DolphinPart would be the best way.

Thanks ultr for the patch, probably David can comment on this.
This is not a patch, but merely a hack for users, who cannot use Konqueror without this ;)
@ultr: You're right of course - sorry, I did not check the attachment and thought it was an alternative approach without touching the DolphinPart ;-) Will have a look on this at the weekend hopefully.
Git commit 5b94c7d551424c281add233acdc1c378c9ed0f51 by Peter Penz. Committed on 10/04/2011 at 18:32. Pushed by ppenz into branch 'master'. Readd KFind shortcut for the Dolphin KPart When the searching has been integrated into Dolphin the "Find File..." entry had been removed from the Tools menu. Readd it into the Dolphin KPart so that it is still available for Konqueror.

oh, thats nice. does that mean, I can configure to run kfind also from dolphin in kde-4.7? and also add a toolbar button for that manually? would it be possible to backport to 4.6?

It would be possible though that someone creates a service menu for KFind, but in this case it would be only available in the context-menu and not in the menubar/toolbar. > would it be possible to backport to 4.6? Sadly no, as a new translation-string had to be introduced.
