Switch Search shortcut (Alt+F7) and Search in Separate Process (Alt+Shift+F7)

Since the first version of Total Commander, the keyboard shortcut for Search files has been Alt+F7. This process runs in foreground and blocks the Total commander viewer. Since some version (8.50?) there is possibility to run the Search files in a separate process (Alt+Shift+F7), which doesn't block the Total commander viewer.
I always had the shortcuts switched, but I think it is time when Total Commander makes the switch by default to everybody. In general I believe that the "Search in separate Process" should be the preferred search for most of the users.
