OK, "Replace All Scope" was not clear to me that it was "replace all in selection".  

Why not have "In Selection" as the default when text is selected (actually i dont like that much, i still think a checkbox is clearer) ?  At least, have some kind of visual cue on the dialog box that this is the keystroke required...  I know that you are going for keystroke consistency here, but its at the expense of ergonomic comfort.

anyway Ill shut up now that I know how to do it....

From the first entry in the Release Notes:

[NEW] The find dialog now has a toggle button to change the text fields into multi-line text fields. In this mode, arrow down will move the caret. The pop-up menu can still be reached using ctrl-N. To insert a literal tab or return, you still need to use option tab and option return. The Replace All Scope has been removed and instead you need to hold down shift (or option) when clicking the Replace All button (the label will change) -- this is consistent with how ctrl-cmd F is Replace All and ctrl-shift-cmd F is Replace All in Selection. I have removed some use of bindings from the window, in an attempt of avoiding the crash that some experience when advancing the key focus in that window, should there still be a problem, please report the crash (using the Crash Reporter with the Smart Crash Reports (from Unsanity) installed is enough).

Hi there -

Ive been a textmate user for many months now.  I notice the most recent download (rev 898) has dramatically changed the "find" dialog, most importantly in that it has removed the option to search and replace within a selection !

I noticed that the "edit" menu has a selection "replace all in selection".  There are two problems with this.  One is, it doesnt work !  I click on it when i have some text selected, and nothing happens.  If it is in fact using my previous selection, thats not very convenient since I dont get a chance to tell it what i want to search and replace.  Also, the key comibination - shift+ctrl+apple+F ... a little excessive perhaps ?

Why cant the "replace in selection" checkbox be present in the default "find" dialog like it was, and more importantly, why cant this checkbox be automatically selected when I have text selected ?   this is how TextPad does it and it is by far the most intutive way to do it.
