Ctrl F gives me Find Replace dialog box   Or you can   First Alt A  Next Alt F  Then press on Replace button   If non of them worked   Goto -  Window -  Preferences -  General -  Keys and search for replace then you will see binding for Find and replace  In the bottom of that window  you can add your key to Binding text box  There you can add or edit any keys as shortcut

Tonny Madsen said it right  but sometimes this is too simplistic    What if you want to be more selective in your replacements since not all replacements are correct for what you re trying to do   Here s how to get more granularity to do the replacements only in certain folders  files  or instances   First  do like he said    Click Search --  File    OR press Ctrl   H and choose the  File Search  tab   Enter text  file pattern and choose your Workspace or Working Set    Then    Click Search When your results come up  make some folder  file  or instance selections by Ctrl   clicking on the ones you d like to select  Ex  here s my selection  I ve chosen 3 instances  1 file  and 1 folder       Now  right-click on your selection and go to --  Replace Selected     Here s a screenshot of that       Enter what you d like to replace it  With   In my case you can see it says it is  Replacing 190 matches in 4 files   Now click OK      Voil     References      Here s the tutorial I came across that taught me this  http   www avajava com tutorials lessons how-do-i-do-a-find-and-replace-in-multiple-files-in-eclipse html page 2

Depending on the file type you are focused on  Ctrl H will open up different types of search screens    A more consistent hotkey would be using the Alt method  Tap Alt  then A  then F   Efficient Order of Operations    Ctrl C the text you want to do the replacing  if available  Highlight the text you want to be replaced Tap ALT  then A  then F  Brings you to File Search  The selection from  2  will auto-fill the search box In the    File name patterns    input box  type in     java    for replacing all Java files or type in    to replace in all files Click    Replace       Ctrl V  Paste   Or type in the value you want to do the replacing  Enter   You can find more details in my blog post  http   blog simplyadvanced net android-how-to-findreplace-in-multiple-files-using-eclipse
