Problem

Visual Studio 2012 Quick Find Dialog Is there a shortcut, or a way to make one, for changing search scope in Visual Studio 2012? The new quick search dialog was redesigned, and it is very clunky to get to search scope via the tab key, as the initial keyboard focus is in the first textbox and the scope dropdown was moved relatively far away. In Visual Studio 2010, it was as simple as hitting the tab key once and you're there. Visual Studio 2012 Quick Find Dialog
