Description

VisualEditor reassigns Ctrl-F from the browser's built-in "Find in page" to VE's own Find and Replace. Google Docs does the same, so maybe it's OK, but a Hebrew Wikipedia user complained about it, so I'm raising it here.

We also re-assign (and do something different from) the browser's built in Ctrl+B, the built-in Ctrl+I, etc.. It's intentionally part of our design to make things consistent for users.
