Is it possible to find and replace in selected text in Snow Leopard Xcode 3.2? There always use to be an option for selected text. Really frustrating. Thanks.

Yeah, but it's a lot less obvious now. If you have the "Find" bar up, change the first dropdown menu to "Find & Replace". Then, if you hold option, the "Replace All" button turns into an "In Selection" button.

Thanks you very much!

That is so great! Even more functions you have to grab your mouse to use. Apple developers sure love their mouse. Mouse is for designers, keyboard is for programmers! Programming in Xcode takes twice the time as in other IDE's :(

Not a useful answer, just a rant. Not that I'm against rants in principle, but that's not the purpose of the site.

This really sucks!!! I cant replace all in selection!! I have to do it one by one!!! really cant understand the stupid logic behind this!

You can replace all in a selection (see answer to question above). Simply hold down the option key and the replace button will change into "in Selection"

You can press Command+Ctrl+F to bring up directly the Find & Replace bar, and press Escape to remove it. I don't think there's anyway to activate the "Replace All" button using the keyboard, but then again there never was afaik.
