+The current search navigation commands `Ctrl+,` and `Ctrl+.` allow for navigation to the previous or next search result, respectively. 
+However, one limitation is that these shortcuts only work when the search view is in focus.
+This feature implements global search navigation commands `Alt+,` and `Alt+.` (`Cmd+Opt+,` and `Cmd+Opt+.` on macOS) to navigate to previous/next search results even when search view is out of focus, allowing for easier and more intuitive navigation.
