All you should need is the slash and letter, like this:

Find/F
Find Again/G

These should work whenever your stack menu is the system menu, (i.e., 
you stack menu has focus, it's in a standalone, or you suspend 
development tools.) The IDE catches the keystrokes if it has the focus.

I think you only need to use the control character ("^") if it is to be 
coupled with another one, like Cmd-Opt for example. But you're right we 
could use some examples in the docs. The release notes had a few.
