As far as I know, FM never had a keyboard shortcut for that. I checked
Klaus's shortcuts list and there's nothing like it there. You can use a
keyboard shortcut to open the Find/Replace, obviously, but the rest is
going to be using the tab and arrow keys.

You could try asking Rick Quatro or one of the other uber-scripters. They
might be able to come up with something for you.
