Ctrl+3 used to open a dialog, but it is now handled by the search bar in the window toolbar. This is fine, but there is no visual cue that the search bar is activated by Ctrl+3. The impression it gives is that Ctrl+3 is just broken - you push it and nothing happens. The only clue given is that the I-beam appears in the search bar, but this is very subtle. Especially for people used to the old Ctrl+3 behaviour this is very confusing. Perhaps a subtle animation or extra border highlight when the search bar is active would help - or just immediately open the drop-down under the search bar on Ctrl+3.

The MRU list will now be displayed when you hit Ctrl+3.
