Cmd-E to enter search string is a nice start. Cmd-Opt-E to enter replacement string. Cmd-... to replace and find next Cmd-... to replace all
I use these commands more than almost any other when editing text. To have to use a dialog to enter the replacement string...to have to use the mouse to replace next...ouch. That's a big showstopper for me.
Oh...and why does 'Ignore Case' get greyed out when you use regular expression (and yet maintain the state last set to, as though it's either locked on or off)? -- (-, /\ / / //

Actually, cmd-f find, then tab moves to replace string input. Although currently the buttons do require the mouse (or some hefty tabbing) to reach.

Yes, but for the same reason that Cmd-E is a good idea, it's often convenient to be able to optiion-shift-right arrow to select a word, Cmd-Opt-E to enter it as a replacement string, and then begin finding/replacing one instance at a time. Without ever breaking focus from looking at the code you're working on.
