Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

After quite some searching and googling I could not find a default keybinding for
the 'replace' command
I think it is quite vital to have one.
A good candidate would be Ctrl-H because it is the same combination
in VS Code and micro is very similar in usage style to it.

Research direction

Start by locating the replace command and the definitions for default keybindings in the micro source. Check how Ctrl-H is handled and whether it is available for this command. Done means the replace command has a default keybinding matching the agreed behavior, with any relevant existing keybinding checks passing.
