Description
Fixes #1082
The Find/Replace dialog currently requires manually enabling Backward direction to search for the previous match. This PR adds browser-style keyboard navigation: Enter keeps its existing behavior, while Shift+Enter searches backward.
Shift+Enter searches backward regardless of the Backward direction checkbox state. In regular expression mode, where backward searching is unsupported, it falls back to a forward search.
