The complexity with this issue seems to be that key bindings are attached to actions, for which I have not seen an easy way to be bound to simple SWT widgets, like used in the find/replace overlay. Usually, they are attached to workbench elements, like menu items or toolbar items. Without defining key bindings for actions, I do not see a way to (1) make them configurable in a standard way and (2) to display the key bindings in a standard way (like using the icons for the modifier keys on Mac rather than writing "CMD", "CTRL" etc. by hand).
