It's just one of those Pandora's boxes, once it's open it can't be
closed.  I have continual trouble with unintentionlly pressing the
Cape-Lock key at the same time as the letter A and finding myself
typing text at the beginning of the line (which could be a paragraph,
in Acme) instead of the place I was at one Ctrl-A earlier.

Still, you could set an indicator that reverses the direction of B3's
search.  It's just not all that useful and programming it and testing
it may be more effort than you gain from the trouble.  Also, knowing
which way you're going next time you click B3 may not be very clear
and you further need to decide whether it is a window-wide or global
setting.

Lucio.
