Suggestion: Find and Replace in ...

by James Terry · in Torsion · 02/15/2007 (9:42 am) · 8 replies

Visual Studio has a nifty feature to find and replace in Current Document, All Open Documents, Current Project, Current Block, and Selection.

It would be nice to have a few of these options to choose from, at least the Current Project and Selection options

I agree this would be a handy feature, I always find my self wanting to replace stuff in a highlighted selection.

I don't remember off the top of my head (writing this from a different pc) if the current release has a feature to format or clean up the scripts. If not, has it been requested as a feature for the next release?

It hasn't been suggested yet... but it may be something we can get to.

Speaking of find functionality, it would also be handy to have the ctrl-f3 functionality of Visual Studio, which takes the token at your cursor, sets it as the current search term and then moves to the next match of it in the current document. Just a handy shortcut for existing functionality, so it seems like it'd be a quick add.

Thanks Tom, you have a great product here and I couldn't imagine working without it.

I was just about to suggest something similar, however, I would like to see the same function as you have in Ultraedit where you can find and replace in files on the harddrive. For now its not a problem to load up Ultraedit for this use, but why not have it all in one tool :)

Must say I really like this product. Tested it for two days and bought it today!

Find and replace on hard drive seems a bit much, might want to keep it limited to the project
