The _find and replace_ widget allows to find and replace text patterns in the focused source editor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **first field**: The pattern, the exact string or the substring to find.
|
|
- **second field**: The string used as replacement, only active when **"replace with"** is checked.
|
|
- **whole word**: Only searches for the whole string.
|
|
- **backward**: Searches from the current position to the top.
|
|
- **from cursor**: When not checked the operation always starts from the top of the document.
|
|
- **case sensitive**: When unchecked the characters case is ignored. Note that this affects the way regexes are compiled.
|
|
- **prompt**: A confirmation is required to replace a match.
|
|
- **allow regex**: When checked, the search is performed by a regex engine.
|
|
|
|
By default <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd> is used to pass the current identifier to the first field and <kbd>F3</kbd> to execute a search.
|
|
The _Find all_ results are displayed in the [messages widget](widgets_messages.html), with the context and they can be clicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scope of _Find all_ can be set either to the current editor, to the selection, to the whole project or to the opened documents by clicking the icon at the right.
|
|
The scope of _Replace all_ only works in the current document or its selection, according to the text displayed on the button mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- To find the declaration of a symbol, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>MB Left</kbd> or the [symbol list](widgets_symbol_list.html) are faster.
|
|
- To rename a variable or a type, local identifier renaming (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F2</kbd>) can be more accurate than _Replace all_ since the action uses the semantic.
