Hello!

Using the PB editor with its search/replace feature, from time to time the problem comes up that I replace too much...

Keeping the Find/Replace dialog open or changing the source tab, the checkbox "Search inside Selection only" switches off.

So, two wishes if possible:
- better keep the "Search inside Selection only" as long as possible switched on, because
- the following <ctrl>-<z> does undo only each replacement itself -> maybe after one whole replace <ctrl>-<z> shall replace the whole step

The checkbox switches off when no more text is selected which seems logically correct; but if I only change the selection to another block.

What I really like is that the may be kept open when switching source codes!


Did I miss anything? A "undo all" way?
Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

Count my vote for both suggestions!

The "Search inside Selection only" should also work for replacement.

But it does replace everything in the whole row; even when selection is done by rectangualr / vertical selection.

Not only that, PB Ide definitely misses some adequate functions to work with text comparing to VS or other modern IDEs, and it is noticed by many users as can see from recent threads here (also me time ago was creating similar too).
Hope developers find some time to improve IDE itself, for now I often have to use Notepad++ to perform some various actions with large code, which is ridiculous.

Hello Lunasole,

I find it a minor annoyance.
I also use tools like PowerGrep to make some pseudo-cross-reference searches or more complex replaces.

But You are right; the wishes and some complaints repeat after a period of time in this forum.

PB is a "small" project; even very effective.
But complaining is always easy...

So, from my site -> just a little wish;-)
