I guessed the the shortcuts made sense for other platforms. The Ctrl-E
one for "Find selected" is not usually seen on Windows, but I don't
think the shortcut is taken so its not an issue. As I've said Ctrl-G is
used in some places for "Find again".

This is obvious a Windows thing: Find and Replace are different beasts!

True, some are definitely more standardised than others. I was just
thinking about the most common things, with I suppose Notepad as the
best mode (it is after all a plain text editor).
