Assume I have currently open 20 files.

How can I replace textually all patterns "aaa" by "bbb" in

a) only all currently open files (tabs)
b) all files of the currently active/marked package (regardless if they are currently open or not)
c) all files in currently active/marked project (regardless if they are currently open or not)

I think you will need to select all the files in Package Explorer (PE)

- Select the package/project in PE
- Search > Search (or Ctrl+H)
- 'Scope': 'Selected Resources'
- Use the 'Replace' button at the bottom (it will first search and then
ask you for the replacement text)
