Cannot replace all strings when using 'Find' feature in Spyder

Question

I'm using Spyder (downloaded as part of Python(x,y)), and when I press Ctrl+F, I can only highlight instances of text but cannot replace all. How can I do this?

It's now ctrl+R for anyone who is still searching out there

it is not an answer, but: to my experience Spyder is/was very slow under MacOSX, so I switched to Jupyter notebooks – Dima Lituiev May 26 '16 at 22:02
On ``MacOS`` that shortcut is tied to ``hide spyder``. See my answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35662566/how-do-you-use-replace-in-spyder/38073467#38073467 – PatrickT Jun 28 '16 at 10:19
Command-R works on the Mac. I'm not sure why the "Replace" command is not listed in the Search menu... – DanHickstein Jan 31 '17 at 20:27
