I wrote this in another mail in this thread, one/the reason for the
arrow was to simplify the dialog.
But based on the feedback in this thread, we will remove it.

Hmm, not sure. Could be done but adds yet another button, yet another
thing you need to sort out when you do a quick search/replace.
(this is not a 'no', just a 'I won't work on it')

Yes, this is a good idea (at least for selection).

We discussed this already a couple of times earlier, we don't want a
discrete list of files per project. We have session support for
projects which is really convenient and sufficient.

Uh, this is something a build system should do, not an IDE/Texteditor.

Use regular expressions like "^[ \t] .*" or something similar, I
usually fail to construct untested regexps :).
