Search in chats and channels
According to https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/new-microsoft-teams/
- Search in chats and channels
should be available now. While the normal search is working. I cannot use CTRL+F which I would expect by now to work again to search only in this one Channel or Chat.
Does this work for anyone else?
DirkReul Hey, unfortunately commands aren't available in the New Microsoft Teams (yet?) so CTRL+F won't work.
CTRL+F is a shortcut to the /find command.
You can use CTRL+E to move to the search bar but it will search across Teams, not just the chat/channel you're on.

HelloBenTeoh Thanks, which is what I feared. Keyboard Shortcuts are not on the list of features to be added and frankly, searching in one channel / chat is important. This will definitely hinder adaptation in my organisation. I appreciate the confirmation and will keep my eyes open for the next update.
- This is now supposedly available, but is in fact, not available:

I waited for a week, still no way to use keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+F to search in Chats in the New Teams
