Search in chats and channels
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.

This will definitely hinder adaptation in my organisation. I appreciate the confirmation and will keep my eyes open for the next update.

DirkReul Ha! A soon as I saw that update, I thought of this conversation. I was VERY close to posting that link here too. But it doesn't work for me either 😞 At least we know it's on their radar.
Correction, this is now available.
The UI just sneakily opens a sidebar to the right.
When you use CTRL+F ->
DirkReul Thanks for the update - works for me too!
- I also thought of your reply 🙂
Ah well, maybe we need to wait more. I will send this as feedback via the app too. What is odd, that the "What is new" Page for Teams (July) is not listed on the Blog Posts page where the other updates are posted.
