Public bug reported:

Searching the next match with gedit makes me crazy.

    I press Ctrl+F

    The search input box opens

    I enter foo

    There is a match for foo. Nice

    Up to now everything is sane

    I want to search the next match (with keyboard, not mouse): How?

For me Enter or ctrl+F (again) would be intuitive.

But both don't work...

Am I the only one being confused here?

Version: Gedit 3.10.4 (default of Ubuntu 14.04)

Other people agreed, that this is not very useable:

Please make "go to next match" work like in e.g. firefox.

This would make me and other users happy :-)
