You can open Replace dialog box using Ctrl + h as others have suggested. Once you set your Find What: and Replace with: text, you can use multiple options using keyboard mnemonics (Mnemonics - Wikipedia). See the screenshot below.

• As you can see several controls with an underline character. These are all available using ALT key. So, to

  • replace all - ALT +A
  • replace one by one - ALT+ R
  • Wrap around - ALT+ P

• Give it a try. Look out for those tiny underline characters. Hope it helps.
