Replace String in all files in Eclipse

Question

Do you know how can I search an replace a String in all files of my current project?

Answer 1

Ctrl+F gives me Find/Replace dialog box.

Or you can,

First Alt+A

Next Alt+F

Then press on Replace button.

If non of them worked:

Goto -> Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys and search for replace then you will see binding for Find and replace. In the bottom of that window, you can add your key to Binding text box. There you can add or edit any keys as shortcut.
