For example, the following enhancements should be done in the Find/Replace Dialog (please think about it)...

*) Ctrl-R should open the dialog with the replace field enabled...
*) Alt-F (find), Alt-R (replace), Alt-A (replace all), Alt-C (close) would be fine
*) after a "no more matches found" the dialog is active, but the focus should be in the text field again (saves one 'tab')
*) not so important, but instead of the "do you want to search from start" message, a permanent decision could be done by spending an additional option (e.g. "search from start") to the dialog
*) regular expressions - no, stop, enough: such things could be done by another editor

Alt+? should not be used as shortcuts, as Alt+? is used to open the main menu.

... AND for buttons, therefore is the &-prefix ...
... and that is, what I want, "&Replace", "Replace &All", etc.

yes, i find it boring to hunt for that OK-buttons after each file. could be better an info in the mostly empty status bar, like in firefox' search bar.

No, he means as underscored letters on the items as keyboard shortcuts.

Oh then I misunderstood. That's where to use Alt, and is why it shouldn't be used other places.
