Hi Eliot,

Cmd-Shift-J (aka Shift-Alt-J) does the same as Cmd-J, but replaces all 
occurrences of the selection. It was recently messed up a bit (probably in 
5.2, so try an 5.1 image to see how it used to work), so now you have 
to press it twice, and sometimes it corrupts the replacement text.

When I want selective replacements, I press Cmd-J to replace the 
current selection, and press Cmd-G to skip it. It's not exactly 
what you want, but solves the same problem.
