    I was wondering if there was any way to repalce multiple line in multiple files at the same time?

    I know under edit->Find in Files

    this will show all the desires lines in all the files, however you have to raeplce them one by one, anyone way to just like REPLACE ALL?

    I think the keybinds changed, it's now showing Ctrl + Shift + H for me (windows) instead of the upper arrow key (or maybe I mistaken what that symbol means). I'm not sure if it's the same in Mac though.

    @aph The upper arrow key is known as “shift button”.
