Example: When I type "can't", after I hit ', that pesky window pops up and
anything further I type goes into that box and it honks at me real soon in since
the find doesn't find that particular jarbled word in the blog entry page.

Remove that evil shortcut key. ' is unacceptable for a shortcut key. Ctrl-' is
much more acceptable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a contraction
2. Find box pops up after hitting the ' in the contraction
3. Close box and try not to be aggravated every time you want to type "can't"
"don't" "wouldn't" or any other word with apostrophes, including possesive
subjects, like "Jim's" or "Edward's"

Actual Results:  
The find box comes up and I have to manually shut it down EVERY time I type a
contraction, gets old fast!

Expected Results:  
Not pop up a Find box and instead not have that rediculous shortcut key.

I am using Modern Pinball theme, which has little to do with a hard embedded
shortcut key which I have no power to turn off in Options.
