I'm better at hitting-non-F keys so it's not just
F3 sucking bigtime. Oh, I sent that to the list...

(Hitting F1 instead of F2 is my "favorite"...)

The problem is keeping a bar open (that is not supposed
open all the time) and stealing focus from it.

So again my suggestion is make
* <Return> search and close the bar, and
* <Ctrl>+<Return> search and keep it open.

That's a solution at least you and I could be happy with.
Or did I misunderstand you?
