Bind consult-line to C-f does not work in init, but works manually

[Sinthoras7]

Thank you for developing this wonderful package!

I have a question regarding the binding of consult-line and I am quite sure it is not the fault of your package, but I don't know where else to ask. If I bind the command to C-s via the following code everything works as expected.

    (use-package consult
         :bind
         ("C-s" . consult-line)
      )

But if I bind it to C-f instead, it does not work. I thought it may be because the key is already bound, but even a (global-unset-key (kbd "C-f")) before it does not help.

Strangely enough if I execute the commands manually it works, just not if they are in the init. (I do not change the keybinding of C-f after that. At least not that I am aware of, though evil mode may do some strange stuff.)

My greater goal is to use the more standard keybindings C-s for saving a buffer and C-f for searching, as I came into in a situation where I need to save often and the two keys C-x C-s are becoming annoying.

Such general key binding questions seem out of scope this discussion forum. The Consult commands behave like every other commands, so the reference manual for use-package and regarding key bindings applies.
