I use the Search Messages tool daily, and I have always used the keyboard shortcut Cmd-Shft-F. That shortcut seems to have been eliminated. Could it be restored?

Thanks, Ben

Still works for me on Win (ctrl-shift-f). Does it work in Troubleshoot mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird)?

No, it still doesn't work in Troubleshoot mode on macOS.

The keyboard shortcut is not listed in the menu (see attached), so I think it's really gone.
