I have mentioned before, it is a pretty frequent source of annoyance that the buttons on the Find/Replace dialog do not have keyboard shortcuts / accelerators. When doing repeated replace operations, one would like to be able to hit keys, e.g. Alt+F or Alt+R, depending on whether the found instance should be replaced or not. Alternating the mouse between two buttons is a lot harder.
Having keyboard shortcuts is really standard "accessibility"-compliant practice for GUIs these days anyway; but the Find/Replace dialog is one of the places where it's especially important.
Hear, hear!
