When replacing multiple items in a file, I'd like to just hit the 'y' key instead of having to click the "Yes" box (and 'n' for "No", 's' for "Stop").

^Z(undo) and ^Y(redo) during a multiple replace should step back and forth among the replacements.

+1. Would be nice to sneak this in even in advance of the official Find in Files feature. (Also, "Replace All".)

Reviewed, marked "move to backlog". The find/replace stories are pretty high in the backlog so we should get to this soon.

In addition to "Yes" and "No", you should have an "All" ('a' shortcut) that finishes the rest of the replacements in the file.

@isonno - yes, we're definitely planning to do Replace All when we get around to working on the Find/Replace features some more.
