The Find bar keyboard accelerators (Alt+M etc.) are activen even when the editor does not have keyboard focus, e.g. when the Projects view or the Search Results view has keyboard focus. IMO this doesn't make any sense. It's inconvenient because it conflicts with the invocation of the main menus by keyboard.
