I had to had it pointed out to me as well ;) . Changed the hotkey for
that option from R to P and had to change it to M after all.

I've commented this in the code (edit_replace_dialog()). Not that this
makes it obvious for the user that (s)he can use Alt-p but it avoids a
developer accidently trying to change the hotkeys in a conflicting way.
I might need to add a similar comment for Alt-n and possible elsewhere
in the docs.
