It would be convenient to have search dialog shortcut (Ctrl-H or other bound combination without conflicts) to switch tabs in it.

Sorry, we don't provide key bindings for things that are supplied by your OS.

Namely Ctrl+PageUp / Ctrl+PageDown.

Thanks for support, but it seems you've missed the main point - use the same shortcut that opens search dialog to switch to required type of search.

The problem with platform keys is that you need both arms to open required search dialog. Some siemens laptops do not have left ctrl at all.

Can you confirm that you are refusing to add such usability feature because there is other inconvenient way to do this provided by platform?

We will not do this but if you really want this you can provide a patch.
