Another problem I have with `Q' is that it requires typing `!' in every
file to replace all occurrences.  So if I want to replace all occurrences
in ALL marked files at once without a query, I need typing `!' as many times
as there are marked files.

Maybe, when started by `Q', query-replace should apply `!' to all marked files,
and a new key `Y' should replace all remaining occurrences in the current file,
and a new key `N' should skip the current file as Miles has already proposed.
Agreed.

I see that this useful feature is not yet implemented, so I have
made a patch that implements multi-file query-replace UI.


Thanks for implementing this.
